This Ottolenghi inspired dish is perfect for a brunch with a gang as you could get 2 pans on the go and feed a good crowd of people with this tasty filling dish. Perfect filler with protein and good fats – would be a great option before a night out or after a walk on St. Stephens Day.

Feeds 2 normally – fed 1 hungry husband on this occasion.
1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
½ tsp flaked chilli
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
300g minced beef
6 small plum tomatoes cut in half
4 eggs
¾ tsp sumac
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

Add the oil to a pan over a medium heat. Tip in the onion, garlic, chilli, paprika and cumin and cook for about 5 minutes to soften and colour a bit. Add the minced beef, 1 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper and brown well, about 8 minutes, stirring, on high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 5 minutes. Make 4 small wells into the mix and break an egg into each. Cook the eggs for a few minutes, and then you can either finish by putting a lid on and cooking for about 8 minutes more or popping into the oven to finish, when cooked the yolks will look a bit cloudy. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with sumac and finish with the parsley and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve at once with some flat breads. Delicious!
