Eggs in a pan

When renovating a house one of the most unsettling things is having to make do without a kitchen. Rather than resigning yourself to takeaways every night, borrow an electric frying pan and a gas ring if you don’t already have them and have a go at turning out these dishes. It’ll keep you healthy, sane and on budget.

Ingredients

Method

1.Drop the tomatoes into a saucepan of gently boiling water, count to 15, then drain immediately and cool quickly in cold water. Remove the peel and chop the flesh.
2.Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, until everything starts to sizzle. Lower the heat and cook gently until tender and just starting to turn golden.
3.Sprinkle in cumin, allspice and cinnamon. Add red pepper and tomatoes. Bring to a gentle bubble, then cook gently for 25 minutes, until reduced and pulpy, stirring often.
4.Season tomato mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Make 4-6 hollows in the tomato mixture and break in the eggs.
5.Cover pan with a lid and cook until the egg whites are nearly set. Drape feta on top and cover again until the whites are just cooked; the eggs will continue to cook while you dish them, so keep them nice and soft.
6.Drizzle with pomegranate molasses if using and scatter with coriander. Serve immediately in the dish.
