Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 250 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Greek yogurt - 200 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Fresh dill - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 1 liter

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the ground lamb with minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into small oval-shaped kebabs.
2. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for about 6-7 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
3. While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
4. In a pot, bring 1 liter of water to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into separate small bowls and carefully slide them into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are runny.
5. To serve, place a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce on a plate, top with the grilled kebabs, and carefully place a poached egg on top of each kebab. Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with extra dill if desired.
