Method
- 01
Heat the olive oil in a wide frying pan and cook the onion and peppers slowly for 10 minutes until soft and sweet.
- 02
Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and chilli flakes and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
- 03
Pour in the tomatoes, season well, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens enough to hold a trench when you drag a spoon through it.
- 04
Make six wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon.
- 05
Crack an egg into each well and season the tops.
- 06
Cover the pan and cook on low for 6 to 8 minutes, until the whites are just set but the yolks still wobble.
- 07
Scatter with crumbled feta and parsley and take the whole pan to the table with plenty of bread.
