Ingredients

  • 300g ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Stir in the minced garlic and chopped bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes, seasoning with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Pour in the diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Make four small wells in the tomato-lamb mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
