Fancy something nicely spicy and seriously tasty, ready before you can say… cumin? No sooner said than tasted!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 1 long green pepper, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 250 g tomato sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/2 level tsp salt

Method

1. In a deep frying pan, sauté the onions, pepper and chilli flakes in the olive oil for 2 minutes.
2. Then add the tomato sauce, sugar, salt and cumin. Leave to simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly.
3. Take a deep soup ladle and crack the eggs into it one at a time, while using a spatula to make room in the sauce to slip the eggs in.

5. Take off the heat, sprinkle with parsley and serve the eggs with their sauce, yoghurt and pitta breads.
