Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs very lightly whipped with a fork
  • 2 tomatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 small red onion finely chopped
  • 1 small greenpointed pepper diced
  • 1 chilli deseeded and chopped
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 20 g olives
  • 10 g fresh coriander
  • 10 g fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • In a medium frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onion, chilli and green pepper.
  • Sauté for a few minutes until the onion has softened. Add the garlic, tomato, parsley/coriander, spices and seasoning.
  • Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until everything has softened.
  • Add the olives and allow them to heat through. Add the beaten eggs, cover and cook gently until set.
  • Serve with crusty bread.

Notes

As an alternative twist add the eggs whole instead of beaten, rather like in a shakshuka, and cook so the yolks are still soft.
