Preparation
- Heat the oil in a frying pan that has a lid, then soften the onions, chilli, garlic and coriander stalks for 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar and let it bubble for 8 to 10 minutes until thick. You can freeze the sauce at this point for up to a month.
- Using the back of a large spoon, make 4 dips in the sauce, then crack an egg into each. Put the lid on and cook over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes, until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter over the coriander leaves and feta, and serve with crusty bread.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Reduce the tomato sauce until thick before the eggs go in, so it does not turn watery.
- Make dips in the sauce for the eggs so they settle in and cook evenly.
- Keep the lid on so the eggs cook gently and the yolks stay runny.
- Hold the feta and coriander until the end for a fresh, salty hit on top.
