The first time I tried this extremely flavorful dish was on a trip to Dubai. I wasn't sure of the dish when I ordered it, but I was so pleasantly surprised at the combination of tomato, egg, cheese and different spices, after digging in!
As you would have figured by now, I love recreating my travel experiences, so I decided to attempt this at home. It's not exactly the same texture because my oven hasn't been working, but it tastes as good.
If you're looking for a new breakfast special and haven't tried this out, then I would sincerely urge you to check out the recipe below and give it a go!
Ingredients
2 eggs (you can add more depending on the number of people)
2 small cans of tomato puree
1 onion chopped
1 capsicum sliced
2 tbsp of chili flakes (1 for cooking and 1 for the garnish)
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 a cup of feta cheese cut into cubes (the more the better)
1 tbsp coriander leaves
Slat to taste
Recipe
Step 1: Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions, capsicum and stir. Cook until the onions are translucent.
Step 2: Add the garlic and stir for about 2/ 3 minutes.
Step 3: Add the tomato puree, chili flakes, cumin, black pepper and salt to taste. Reduce the heat to medium and stir everything together. Cover and allow this to cook for about 8/10 minutes.The sauce should get nice and thick once you remove the lid.
Step 4: Sprinkle feta cheese on the top.
Step 5: To add the eggs, make holes in the tomato mixture with your ladle and just crack the eggs over the mixture into the holes.
Step 6: Cook eggs until the whites firm up a bit but the yolks are still runny.
Plate up!!
Garnish with coriander and some more chili flakes. Serve hot with garlic or pita bread.
