Chef Nik Sharma has unveiled new recipes, offering a spiced take on French onion soup and an Indian-inspired version of Turkish eggs. The French onion soup incorporates nigella seeds and ghee, which Sharma suggests enhance flavour and add a warm, nutty, caramel taste.
His Indian-style Turkish eggs, a twist on the classic çılbır, feature poached eggs with garlic yoghurt and green chutney. Sharma notes that the poached egg method used in this recipe was learned from Nigella Lawson.
These recipes are edited extracts from Nik Sharma's book, "Fundamentals of Flavor: 100 Recipes for the Science of Better Cooking," published by Chronicle Books.
