• white vinegar
• salt
• olive oil
• jalapeno pepper
• parsley
• cumin
• paprika
• butter
• dill
• cayenne pepper
• salt
• black pepper
• garlic
• greek yogurt

Instructions

1. 1 To make the yogurt spread: Place yogurt in a medium bowl and grate in garlic; mix to combine. Season with pepper, salt, and cayenne. Add dill and mix thoroughly. Set aside at room temperature.
2. 2 To make Aleppo butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; heat until bubbles begin to burst. Add chile flakes, paprika, and cumin. Stir until color is uniform. Turn off heat and let spices infuse.
3. 3 To make the parsley and jalapeño oil: Grind parsley and jalapeño together in a mortar. Drizzle in olive oil and season with salt; stir to combine.
4. 4 To make poached eggs: Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, add vinegar, and keep water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slip egg into water, holding the bowl just above surface of water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are firm and yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 ½ to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, pat dry on a kitchen towel, and place onto a warm plate.
5. 5 Dollop yogurt mixture onto serving plates. Use the back of a spoon to spread yogurt, carving ridges into the top to catch oil. Drizzle some jalapeño oil. Top with eggs and 1 to 2 spoonfuls of Aleppo butter. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

Ingredients

• ✓ aleppo chili flake
• yukon gold potato
• kosher salt
• mint
• olive oil
• red onion
• red bell pepper
• garlic
• lemon juice
• green onion
• mint
• parsley
• black pepper
• cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
3. 3 Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
4. 4 While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
5. 5 Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
6. 6 Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
7. 7 Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.
