The variety of Egyptian recipes is endless. They go back a very long way. As a result of subsequent colonization, foreign influence is somewhat present, specially from the Turkish cuisine (it is understandable after more than 300 years of Turkish presence in Egypt). The "Pashas" living in Cairo mainly employed the natives as help and cooks. Their kitchen doors opened to us with their culinary secrets and, hence, Turkish food became part of ours.

FRIED EGGS WITH PASTRAMI
Beed ma'li bi-l-bastirma
Ingredients:
* 4 1/2 ounces pastrami
* 4-6 eggs
* cooking oil or spray
* salt & pepper
Instructions:
* Remove the coarse rind of the bastirma.* Bastirma becomes very crisp very quickly when heated. Fry it in the skillet with the cooking oil or spray. Turn to cook both sides, then add eggs, beaten or whole. When eggs are set, remove to serving dish and season to taste. Garnish with fruit or as desired.
* Take care to not overcook the bastirma, as it will turn bitter.
* Bastirma, or pastrami, in the US will be very very thin and the rind will not be a problem.
