Method

Jamie Oliver 155x255
  1. Peel and finely slice the onions and garlic, then place in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat with 1 tsp of oil. Sprinkle over the cumin and cook for 5 mins, or until the onions have softened slightly, stirring regularly.
  2. Deseed and finely slice the peppers, add to the pan and cook for 10-15 mins, or until soft and sticky.
  3. Tip in the tinned tomatoes, along with 1 tin's worth of water, breaking the tomatoes up with a wooden spoon. Season with a little sea salt and black pepper, give everything a good stir, then turn the heat down to low and leave to bubble away for 10 mins or until thickened and reduced.
  4. Spread the veg sauce out evenly in the pan, then use the back of a spoon to push and dig out 4 little pockets. Crack an egg into each one, then cover with a lid or tin foil and cook for 3-5 mins, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (cook for longer, if you prefer).
  5. Pick and roughly chop the parsley, then scatter over the dish, and dollop over the yogurt. Delicious served with toast or flatbreads for mopping up the juices.
