🛒 Ingredients

Serves 2–3

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped

  • 1 red capsicum, diced

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tsp Aromi’s Alexandrian Afternoon spice blend

  • 400g can diced tomatoes

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 3–4 eggs

  • Crumbled feta, to serve

  • Fresh herbs (parsley or coriander), optional

  • Crusty sourdough or flatbread, to serve


👩🍳 Method

  1. Sauté the veg:
    Heat olive oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add capsicum and garlic, cooking for another 2–3 minutes.

  2. Spice it up:
    Stir in Aromi's Alexandrian Afternoon and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Add tomatoes:
    Pour in the diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  4. Poach the eggs:
    Make small wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.

  5. Garnish & serve:
    Sprinkle with crumbled feta and a few fresh herbs. Serve hot with crusty bread or flatbread for dipping.
