Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a large oven-safe frying pan or skillet. Add onion, garlic, capsicum and eggplant; cook gently for 5-7 minutes or until softened.
2.Add the spices, then stir in tomatoes, tomato paste and sugar; season. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until starting to thicken, adding more chilli if desired.
3.Make indentations in the mixture with the back of a spoon. Break the eggs into a small cup, then pour into the indentations, spacing them evenly around the pan.
4.Place pan in the oven and cover with a lid or baking tray. Cook for 10 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking. If you don’t have an oven-safe frying pan, leave the pan on the stovetop, but cover it and simmer gently 10-15 minutes, or until eggs are cooked and sauce has slightly reduced.
5.Sprinkle with parsley and serve with warmed bread to mop up the juices, if desired.
  • Serves 4-6. – Add a sausage such as a Merguez – a spiced North African lamb sausage. Try serving for brunch with hash browns. For the kids, reduce the chilli and stir in a can of baked beans.
