Ingredients
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp caraway seeds
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion, peeled, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled, minced
- 2 tbsp rose harissa
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- a dash of cayenne pepper
- a pinch of fine Himalayan salt
- 1 large yellow pepper, sliced
- 800g (28oz) tinned tomatoes
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- juice of ½ a lemon
- 6 free-range eggs
- 25g (1oz) fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 25g (1oz) fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 8 tbsp coconut yoghurt
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/Gas Mark 5.
- In a cast iron skillet or pan, dry roast the cumin and caraway seeds for 2 minutes. Add the olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic for a further 2 minutes. Add the rose harissa, coconut sugar, tomato purée, sweet paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and salt. Stir until combined, then add the yellow pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the tinned and cherry tomatoes. Cook on a low heat for 15 minutes until the tomatoes have thickened. Add the lemon juice and stir.
- Make six indentations into your tomato sauce and gently crack your eggs into the indentations. Using a fork, swirl the edges of the egg whites around, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper and transfer your pan into the oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes until the eggs are set.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle over the parsley and mint. Serve with 4 tbsp coconut yoghurt per person.
