Ingredients
  

Hash Base
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into small florets
  • 7 oz Turkish Sucuk sausage diced, casing removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
Spices & Eggs
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tsp Aleppo pepper (Pul Biber) plus more for garnish
  • 0.5 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 pinch salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large Cast Iron Skillet (10-12 inch)
  • Cutting board
  • Chef's knife
  • Slotted spoon
  • Skillet Lid

Method
 

  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add diced sucuk and cook until fat renders and meat is crispy (5-7 mins). Remove meat with a slotted spoon, leaving fat in the pan.
  2. Add olive oil to the rendered fat. Increase heat to medium-high. Add cauliflower florets and fry until golden brown and tender-crisp (8-10 mins).
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion and cook until softened (3 mins). Add minced garlic, cumin, and Aleppo pepper; cook for 1 minute.
  4. Stir the crispy sucuk back into the cauliflower mixture. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Make five wells in the hash and gently crack an egg into each. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook on medium-low until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny (4-7 mins).
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish generously with chopped parsley and extra Aleppo pepper. Serve immediately in the skillet.

Notes

If you cannot find sucuk, a spicy, garlic-heavy cured chorizo can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be different. Serve with crusty bread and yogurt.
