Shakshuka poached eggs

Serves: 3 (2 eggs per person) 

Prep time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients: 

• 1 tbsp olive oil 
• ½ onion, peeled and diced

Method: 

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or fry pan on low heat. Add the onion and spices and cook until onion is translucent. Then add garlic and capsicum. Cook, stirring frequently, until the capsicum has softened, about 10 minutes.
