What happens when you mix some onions with some tomatoes and mix in some flavour of India?

As the onions and the tomatoes are the key ingredients in this breakfast dish, you get the anti-inflammatory properties of the onions and the lycoene of the tomatoes.

Here is what is needed for this breakfast dish: (serves 2 to 4)

  • dash of olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • a few garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp ground tumeric
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 and 1/4 cups of stewed canned tomatoes
  • flavour of pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • optional: 1/4 cup fresh chopped coriander

How to put it together:

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet with the onions and garlic for a few minutes (softening)
  2. Add the tumeric and cumin, stir for about 2 minutes
  3. Add the tomatoes and season to taste. Simmer the mixture for about 20 minutes until the mix thickens
  4. Make for `pockets` in the mix, break one egg in each pocket
  5. Cook until the egg whites are cooked
  6. Garnish with the optional coriander if  you choose (had this without, or a light mix of cheese overtop the mix)

With this recipe you get 2 bonuses: using the super ingredients of cumin and tumeric (these will be discussed in future posts).

Happy kitchening, cooking & cuisine!
