Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic cloves, grated
  • ½ red chilli, de-seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sumac ( you can replace the sumac with a teaspoon of lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses (I used pomegranate jam - otherwise use a tart berry jam)
  • 200g chopped tomatoes (1/2 can)
  • Leaves of two sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 eggs
  • Pita breads to serve
Instructions
  1. Fry the onions in oil for about 5 minutes in a small frying pan.
  2. Stirring occasionally, add the garlic, chilli, sumac, paprika, cumin and ground coriander. Stir well so that the spices coat the onions.
  3. Add the tomatoes and pomegranate molasses. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow the ingredients to gently bubble for about 5-10 minutes - or until the sauce is a good, thickish consistency.
  4. Stir in the thyme, fresh coriander, salt and pepper. Please taste and season the sauce.
  5. Crack in the eggs and allow the whites of the eggs to cook completely while keeping the yolks soft.
  6. Serve at once with pita bread. (…And a glass of good red!)
