  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 leeks, washed and sliced

  • 7 oz baby spinach

  • 1½ cups frozen peas

  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds

  • Small bunch of fresh parsley, roughly chopped

  • Small bunch of fresh coriander, roughly chopped

  • Small bunch of fresh mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped (reserve a few for garnish)

  • 8 large eggs

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • Optional: Plain yogurt and harissa for serving

  • Flatbread, for serving


Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a wide, shallow frying pan over medium heat.

  • Add the sliced leeks with a pinch of salt and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

  • Gradually add the baby spinach to the pan, stirring until wilted.

  • Stir in the frozen peas, chopped garlic, cumin seeds, chopped parsley, coriander, and mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is fragrant.

  • Make four small wells in the mixture and crack two eggs into each well.

  • Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

  • Remove from heat. If desired, dollop spoonfuls of plain yogurt and harissa over the top, and garnish with the reserved mint leaves.

 

  • Serve hot with flatbread for scooping.
