1 Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the capsicum, onion, tomato paste, paprika and chilli flakes. Cook, stirring occasional­ly, for

5-7 minutes or until the onion softens. Stir in the tomatoes and cumin. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes or until the tomatoes start to break down.

Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or until the whites are completely set and the yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. 3 Top with yoghurt and sprinkle with parsley before serving with pita bread.

COOK’S TIP

To warm the pita bread, wrap in foil and heat in an oven preheated to 180°C (fan-forced) for 10 minutes, or until heated through.
