Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 large red capsicums, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • salt and black pepper
  • 800 g roughly chopped fresh tomatoes (or tinned)
  • 4 eggs
  • 120 g labneh or thick plain yoghurt
Resting time: 2 minutes

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the capsicum, garlic, harissa, tomato paste, cumin and ¾ tsp of salt.
  2. Cook, stirring for 8 minutes, or until the capsicum has softened. Add the tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes, or until you have a thick sauce. Season to taste.
  3. Use a spoon to make 4 small dips in the sauce. Gently break the eggs and carefully pour each into its own dip. Use a fork to swirl the egg whites a little bit with the sauce, taking care not to break the yolks. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  4. Remove from the heat, leave a couple of minutes to settle, then spoon into individual plates and serve with the labneh or yoghurt.
