Finely chop parsley. Add yogurt to a bowl. Peel and grate garlic into the yogurt. Add parsley and salt to the yogurt, mix well, and set aside.

Fill a wide pot approx. 4-5cm/5” high with water t, add vinegar (if you don’t want to follow the chef’s note) and bring to a boil. As soon as fine air bubbles begin to rise from the bottom of the pot, add your eggs in one by one, cook for approx. 2 ½ - 3 min., so that the egg yolk is still runny. Remove, and drain on kitchen paper.
