Special S***m Cell Boosting Recipe
Here's the delicious brunch recipe, originally from Tunisia, that is packed with antioxidants (Vitamin C and lycopene) plus many other s***m cell boosting nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, folate, magnesium, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D and allicin. This is a special recipe adapted from ottolenghi ’s book ‘Jerusalem’.
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp harissa paste
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 large red peppers (cut into small dice)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
8 large, very ripe tomatoes, chopped (tinned is also fine)
2 large handfuls of fresh spinach
4 medium free-range eggs plus 4 egg yolks
120g Labneh or thick yoghurt
1 tsp of salt
How To Prepare
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the harissa, tomato puree, peppers, garlic, cumin and 1 tsp of salt. Stir and cook for about 8 minutes to allow the peppers to soften.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for a further 10 minutes until you have a thick sauce. Then add the spinach and stir it into the sauce.
- Make eight little dips in the sauce. Gently break the eggs and carefully pour each into its own dip.
- Do the same with the yolks. Use a fork to swirl the egg whites a little bit with the sauce, taking care not to break the yolks.
- Simmer gently for 10 minutes until the eggs whites are set, but the yolks are still runny. Cover the pan with a lid to hasten the process.
- Spoon into individual plates and serve with yogurt and a little bread.
Enjoy!
