One pan, eggs and a tin of tomatoes: the easiest dish on this page. Eaten for breakfast across North Africa and the Middle East, but just as good for dinner.
Method
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan with a lid. Fry the onion and pepper for 8 minutes, until soft.
Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and chilli for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Simmer for 8 minutes, until thick.
Make four hollows in the sauce with a spoon and crack an egg into each.
Cover and cook on a low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. Scatter the herbs.
Crumbled feta on top before serving is not traditional everywhere, but it is very good.
Eat it with: Warm flatbread or crusty bread to mop up the sauce.
