Ingredients
- ¼ red onion
- 1 small potato or sweet potato (about 5 ounces)
- 1 small turnip (about 5 ounces)
- 1 small carrot (about 4 ounces)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- ¼ cup water
- 2 large eggs
- Feta cheese (for topping)
Directions
Dice onion, potato, turnip, and carrot in a ¼ inch dice. Finely mince garlic.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, followed by onion. Let cook until fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then add garlic, tarragon, and dill; cook one minute more. Add potato, turnip, and carrot. Sauté 2 to 3 minutes, then add water and cover. Reduce heat to low and let steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and let caramelize 3 to 5 minutes more.
Make a small well in the middle of the vegetables and crack eggs in the middle. Cover and let cook until eggs are set but yolks are still slightly runny, about 5 to 8 minutes.
