Chirbuli (Georgian-Style Scrambled Eggs)

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• Eggs - 5
• Tomatoes - 4
• Onion - 1
• Walnuts - 1 handful
• Garlic - 4-5 cloves
• Tomato paste - 1 tbsp
• Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
• Butter - 10 g
• Green onion - 3 stalks
• Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro) - to taste
• Salt - to taste
• Water - 1/2 cup

Instructions:

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
2. Peel and finely chop the onion. Also, mince the garlic cloves and walnuts.
3. Dice the tomatoes. There's no need to peel them or drain the juice, as the tomato juice will enhance the flavor of the dish.
4. Finely chop the fresh herbs.
5. In a skillet, heat a mixture of vegetable oil and butter, then add the chopped onion and sauté for a few minutes.
6. Add the garlic and walnuts to the skillet. Stir and fry everything together for another minute.
7. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
8. Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet, then pour in the water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer on low for about five minutes. At this stage, you can add salt to taste.
9. Once the mixture in the skillet is homogeneous, carefully crack the eggs into it one by one, ensuring that the yolks remain intact. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are done. Ideally, the yolks should remain slightly runny, which usually takes about five minutes.
10. Generously sprinkle the finished chirbuli with fresh herbs and serve hot directly in the skillet. This hearty dish is enough to satisfy two adults. Enjoy your meal!
