Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 400g cans diced tomatoes
50 g black olives (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon butter

150 g cooked chorizo sausage, sliced
100 g feta
4 eggs
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley or coriander
Char-grilled bread to serve
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180 C.
- Heat the oil in a large oven-proof frying pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until the onion is tender. Add the cumin and cook for a minute or so before adding the tomatoes, olives, oregano and butter.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce is thickened and deepened in colour.
- Stir the chorizo and feta through the mixture and then make 4 indents large enough to fit an egg.
- Carefully break an egg into each cavity and bake for 15 minutes or until egg whites have set.
- Sprinkle with parsley or coriander to serve with char-grilled bread and a green salad if you wish.
BUDGET SAVING TIPS:
- Buy fresh chorizo sausages from the butchery section of the supermarket instead of deli section – they’re usually cheaper.Â
- Not a huge fan of olives? Did you know when they’re heated, their flavour mellows and becomes less harsh.Â
- This recipe includes eggs which are packed full of natural protein and essential nutrients for everyday health and wellness.
