Chicory Beef Eggs and Lemon Crete Style

I was at the butcher shop on the way home and bought some meat for the next three days. Some lean beef, some beef liver and some Bratwurst. I have a couple of things left from the Easter grocery shopping, so I needed to make some meals out of them. Otherwise throwing them out- that is not something I do easy.

I wanted to make the fresh beef mince today and had 2 heads of chicory in the veggie drawer of my fridge. While looking through the drawer I saw some limes sitting around and found a fresh red chili.
I have still a couple of fresh eggs on the counter, I didn´t color that much this year so I thought about a Greek theme or better yet a Crete theme. They love the combination of lemon and eggs and use that to bind soups or sauces. Greek Oregano - the dried version- is in a bottle in the cupboard and some more seasonings are handy. They may not be Greek- I use a good dose of Zatar and some sumac and I loved it. This dish is light and goes great with fresh cucumber and some seasoned globs of Tsatziki.
