How did I get this recipe?

The memory of finding this recipe for the first time brings a smile to my face. It was a warm summer day, and I was visiting my dear friend Fatima, who had recently returned from a trip to the Middle East. As we sat in her kitchen sipping on mint tea, she excitedly told me about the delicious dishes she had tried during her travels.

One dish, in particular, caught my attention - Eggs in Oil with Sumac. Fatima described it as a simple yet flavorful breakfast dish that was popular in the region. She shared the recipe with me, and I knew I had to learn how to make it myself.

After returning home, I gathered all the ingredients I needed - eggs, olive oil, sumac, and some fresh herbs. As I stood in my kitchen, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for my time in Fatima's kitchen. I cracked the eggs into a bowl and whisked them until they were frothy. In a skillet, I heated up a generous amount of olive oil until it shimmered, then poured in the eggs.

As the eggs began to cook, I sprinkled in a generous amount of sumac, which added a vibrant red color and a tangy flavor. The aroma of the sumac filled the room, and I couldn't wait to taste the finished dish. I let the eggs cook until they were just set, then transferred them to a plate and garnished them with fresh herbs.

The first bite was pure bliss. The eggs were creamy and light, with a subtle tanginess from the sumac. The olive oil added a richness that tied everything together perfectly. I knew I had found a new favorite dish, one that would become a staple in my kitchen.

Over the years, I have made Eggs in Oil with Sumac countless times, each time adding my own twist to the recipe. Sometimes I sprinkle in some feta cheese for extra creaminess, or add a handful of cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness. No matter how I choose to prepare it, the dish always brings back fond memories of my time with Fatima and our shared love of cooking.

I have since shared the recipe with friends and family, who have all fallen in love with it just as I did. It's a dish that never fails to impress, whether served for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. The simplicity of the ingredients belies the complexity of flavors, making it a true standout in my repertoire of recipes.

As I continue to cook and experiment in the kitchen, I am always grateful for the people and places that have inspired me along the way. From Fatima's kitchen to my own, the journey of learning and sharing recipes has brought me so much joy and fulfillment. And every time I make Eggs in Oil with Sumac, I am reminded of the power of food to connect us, to bring us together in a shared love of good food and good company.
