Winter greens shakshuka

Heat a good glug of olive oil in a medium to large pan.  Add onion, garlic and spices and cook, stirring, for a few minutes or until fragrant.

Add the chopped tomatoes, and an inch of water to rinse out the tin/jar.  Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add roughly chopped greens of your choice, and if you’re using a few different things then add thicker stems first, then robust leaves like kale, then silverbeet or spinach type leaves.  Simmer for a further 3-5 minutes or until they’ve wilted.  Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

Make little wells in the sauce and crack eggs into them.  (This amount will be plenty for 6 eggs, so freeze some sauce or make double depending on who is hungry!).  Cover and cook for a further 5-6 minutes on a low-medium heat, until the whites are set and the yolks remain soft and runny.

Remove from heat, and season again with salt and pepper.  Top with crumbled feta and fresh coriander. Hot sauce on the side.
