Griyo: A Delicious Mediterranean Dish
Griyo is a traditional Mediterranean dish, often served as a hearty breakfast or brunch option. It’s a delightful blend of flavors and textures, made with eggs, potatoes, onions, and spices. The name itself evokes images of warm, crispy edges and fluffy interiors. This meal is not only satisfying but also relatively easy to prepare, making it a favorite for many home cooks.
Recipe: How to Cook Griyo
Ingredients:
– 4 large potatoes (waxy varieties work best)
– 1 large onion
– 4-5 eggs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Optional: Hot sauce or red pepper flakes for an extra kick
Instructions:
- Preparation: Peel and grate the potatoes and onion finely. You can use a food processor with a grating attachment to save time, but ensure you don’t over-grate; the pieces should be small yet manageable. Mix grated potatoes and onions together in a large bowl.
Seasoning: Add salt and pepper according to your preference. If using hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicier version, include them at this stage. Mix well so that all ingredients are evenly coated with seasoning.
Cooking: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour the potato-onion mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a flat layer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to loosen the edges if needed.
Cracking Eggs: Crack each egg onto a small bowl or ramekin. Create small wells in the potato mixture by gently pushing some of the mixture aside with your finger, being careful not to disturb the crust. Slide one egg into each well.
Cooking Until Set: Reduce heat to low and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, approximately 10-12 minutes. If you prefer your eggs more cooked, cover the pan with a lid for a few minutes to trap the steam, checking regularly to avoid overcooking.
Serving: Once cooked to your liking, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish. Serve griyo immediately while it’s hot and crispy. You can pair it with toasted bread or side salads for a balanced meal.
Enjoy this tasty Mediterranean creation!
