Healthy Mediterranean dish with lots of tomatoes! Great to serve as breakfast, just had it on its own or with bread.


Ingredients: (served 2-3 pax)

2 tbsp Olive Oil

3 Eggs

4 Large, ripe tomatoes - cut into 1" cubes

3 tbsp Tomato Puree

1 onion - diced

3 cloves Garlic - coarsely minced

1 tsp Paprika powder

Salt & black

pepper to taste

Some fresh cilantro/Coriander - roughly chopped

50-100ml Water

.

Steps:

1. Heat pan over medium heat. Add olive oil.

2. Saute onions and garlic till translucent & soft, season with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally so as not to burn.

3. Sprinkle in paprika and toss for 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

4. Add in chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and season with another pinch of salt and black pepper. You can add a bit water if you think it's to dry.

5. Reduce to low medium heat and covered the pan with lid. Let it simmer for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent burn at the bottom.

6. When the tomatoes soften & almost melted, remove the lid and begin to crack eggs into the tomato sauce (use spatula to create a small hole in the sauce & crack the egg into it)

7. Cover with a lid and let the steam cook the egg until the whites hardened but yolks still runny - about 5-8 mins.

8. Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro /Coriander. Serve at once.


Happy Cooking
