2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large red capsicum, chopped 1 small brown onion, chopped 2 Tbsp no-added-salt tomato paste 1 tsp smoked paprika

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.
2 Make four indentations in the tomato mixture. Break an egg into a small bowl and slip into an indentation. Repeat with the remaining eggs. 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.
