What is Egg with acuka?
Egg with acuka is a simple pan-cooked dish combining eggs with acuka, a Turkish spread made with pepper paste, walnuts and spices. Depending on the cook, the eggs may be left whole or stirred into the acuka as they cook. Acuka is also commonly served on its own, spread on bread at breakfast.
Its savoury, gently spicy and nutty flavour contrasts with the soft texture of the eggs. In Turkey, it is most at home at a leisurely breakfast, often with bread and tea; it can also be served as a small sharing dish.
