Ingredients

  • 1 tsp oil

  • ½ onion

  • ½ green capsicum

  • 1 can diced tomatoes

  • ½ tsp cumin powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp red chilli flakes

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 3 eggs

  • ¼ cup feta cheese

  • ½ cup baby spinach

  • fresh coriander leaves

  • 2 garlic cloves

Directions

  • Chop the onion and capsicum. Mince the garlic.
  • Heat the oil in a pan. Saute the onions and capsicums on medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic and spices and cook for another 2 minutes (until the garlic becomes fragrant).
  • Pour in the diced tomatoes. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the tomato sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes. 
  • Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and baby spinach. Stir until spinach has wilted.
  • Using a wooden spoon, create 3 wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.
  • Cover the pan and cook the eggs on medium-low heat for 5 minutes (until the whites are just set). I like the yolks to stay runny.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander leaves. Season with fresh cracked pepper and serve with warm pita or a crusty bread.
