Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200ml passata or canned tomatoes, whizzed to a paste
  • 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
  • 1 heaped tbsp red pepper salsa (we used Gran Luchito) or ¼-½ red pepper, chopped
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 1 tbsp chopped coriander and pitta bread, to serve

Method

  1. Brush a microwave bowl or dish with a little of the oil. Stir the passata, garlic and salsa together and season well. Tip into the bowl and make a dip in the centre. Break in the egg, then prick the yolk with the tip of a sharp knife.

  2. Cover the bowl with its lid or clingfilm. Microwave on high for 1 min, and then in 20 sec bursts until the white is set. Scatter over the coriander and serve with the warmed pitta.
