Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 leek thinly sliced
  • 100 g spinach
  • 70 g frozen garden peas or petit pois
  • 1 large garlic clove thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 15 g a mixture of parsley, coriander and mint roughly chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 70 g natural yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon harissa, sriracha or other chilli sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sumac optional
  • 2 slices of bread to serve

Instructions
 

  • Heat 2 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan. Fry thinly sliced leeks on low-medium heat for about 5 minutes until starting to soften.
  • Add garlic and spinach and stir until just starting to wilt. Tip your frozen peas and all the herbs in. Sprinkle with chilli flakes, turmeric and ground cumin and mix well.
  • Use a spoon to make four grooves in your green mix and crack an egg into each of them. Cover with a lid and cook for 4-6 minutes until egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft and runny.
  • Take off the heat and dollop spoonfuls of plain yogurt. Then drizzle with the chilli sauce of your liking. Sprinkle some salt and sumac on your eggs and serve at the table with thick slices of crusty bread.
