Instructions

Ingredients

1 tbsp Vegetable oil
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1 Onion, finely diced
2 Red bell peppers, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tbsp Tomato puree
400 g tin of Polpa, finely chopped, tomatoes
¾ tsp of Salt
1 tsp Sugar
6 Eggs
4 Spring onions, finely chopped, to serve (optional)
2 Avocado, sliced thinly, to serve (optional)
100 g Feta cheese, crumbled, to serve (optional)
Warm crusty bread to serve (optional)

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil and your teaspoon club spice packet in a wide cast-iron pan (that has a lid which will be needed later) on a low heat for 30 seconds
Add the garlic and onion and fry on a medium heat until the onions are softened (approximately 3 minutes or so)
Add both the peppers and continue to stir for approximately 5 minutes, so the mixture is softened and the spices are fragrant
Add the tomato puree, salt and sugar and pour in the (polpa) chopped tomatoes. Stir well and simmer for 5-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the flavours to develop
Remove the mixture from the hob. Crack your first egg into a cup. Using the back of a ladle create a well in the tomato mixture and carefully place your egg into it. Season the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Repeat this process for the remaining eggs
Return the mixture to the hob and apply a low to medium heat. Cover the pan with it’s lid and leave the eggs to poach for 6-8 minutes, or longer depending on how runny you like your yolks
Remove from the heat and sprinkle over the chopped spring onions
Serve hot with bread, and the optional avocado and feta cheese
