Start your day off with breakfast in colour and getting a head start on your 5-a-day with this simple shakshuka recipe.

Method:

Fry the sliced onions and peppers in a tablespoon of oil, in a frying pan set over low-medium heat until softened (about 5-7 mins). Add the tin of tomatoes and spices, if using. Season with a little salt & pepper until it tastes right to you. Simmer for 5 mins until the tomatoes are hot and the sauce starts to thicken. Make 4 little ‘holes’ in the sauce and crack an egg into each, then cover the pan and simmer for 5-8 mins, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly wobbly. Serve with pitta breads for mopping up the sauce.
