Method
-
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the harissa, tomato paste, peppers, garlic, cumin and Middle Eastern seasoning.
-
Cook on a moderate heat for about 6 minutes to allow the peppers to soften.
-
Add the tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer and cook for a further 10 minutes until you have quite a thick sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning.
-
Make eight little dips in the sauce and gently break in the eggs.
-
Cover with a lid and simmer on low until the egg whites are set but the yolks are runny.
-
Remove from the heat and serve with the labneh or yoghurt and herbs.
