Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 pieces shallots
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece red chili
- 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the shallots and garlic cloves. Slice the red chili thinly (adjust to taste if you prefer less heat).
Step 2
In a medium skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 3
Add the sliced shallots, garlic, and red chili to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
Step 4
Sprinkle the ground turmeric and sea salt over the sautéed aromatics, stirring to combine evenly.
Step 5
Using a spoon, move the aromatics to the edges of the skillet to create space in the center.
Step 6
Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, one by one, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Fry the eggs sunny-side-up for 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
Step 7
Drizzle fresh lime juice over the eggs just before removing them from the skillet.
Step 8
Transfer the eggs and sautéed aromatics onto a serving plate.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately, either on its own or with cauliflower rice for a complete Paleo meal.
