What it is
A classic Turkish breakfast or brunch dish featuring savory slices of highly seasoned, air-dried cured beef (pastırma) cooked with eggs, usually in a traditional copper pan (sahan).
Key ingredients
Pastırma (cured beef), eggs, butter or olive oil.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no bread is served alongside (or just decline it).
Watch out for
Pastırma itself is very low carb. The main risk is usually serving with bread or fried potatoes, which must be declined.
