Ingredients

Method

  1. Soften onion in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in cumin and paprika, add tomatoes and salt, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Fold in beans and warm for 3 minutes. Make four wells and crack an egg into each.
  3. Cover and cook gently until whites and yolks are firm and eggs reach 71°C/160°F; start checking after 8 minutes.
A little note

Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so the bottom does not scorch while eggs cook.

Cooking tips

  • Reduce the tomato sauce before adding eggs so the whites sit in defined wells.
  • Keep the heat gentle after covering and check that both whites and yolks are firm as directed in the method.
