Great! I m gonna try it!
Would it be easier to mix the pastes in the oil warming up then add the eggs as not to over cook them .?
Sure, as long as it suits you better:)
What is hot pepper paste? Is it the same as chili?
Hi Rubi,
I've already posted the recipe under the Appetizers section, here;
http://english.turkishcookbook.com/2006/04/red-pepper-paste.html
You can find red pepper paste in Turkish or Mediterranean stores if you have any your area. You can shop from Amazon.com or Tulumba.com which is online Turkish grocery store:)
I was wondering why it seemed to translate as jammy eggs! :) It was only on my most recent visit to Turkey that a friend pointed out 'jam' is the closest you can get to my name!
Once I saw this recipe in a cooking programme, it was said that it's italian recipe, I am happy it is eaten in Turkey too.having said that, Ive never tried it yet:)
