Prep:15 mins
Serves 3 – 4
1 tbsp olive oil1 tsp cumin seeds1 onion, chopped2 garlic cloves, crushed1 green chilli, chopped (deseeded if you don’t want it very hot)300g brussels sprouts, roughly shredded450g spinach½ lemon, juiced6 eggs½ small pack coriander, yogurt, sriracha and thick slices of sourdough or keto bread, to serve
STEP 1Heat the oil in a frying pan with high sides, scatter in the cumin seeds and toast a little, then add the onion and fry until softened, around 5 mins. Add the garlic and chilli and fry for 1 min. Tip the sprouts into the pan and cook for 5 mins until softened, then add the spinach – you may have to do this in batches. Cook until the spinach has wilted down, then squeeze in the lemon juice to taste. Season well.STEP 2Use a spoon to create six holes in the greens to crack the eggs into. Break the eggs into the holes, cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 mins until the eggs have set, but the yolk remains runny. Sprinkle over the coriander and serve immediately, drizzled with natural yogurt and sriracha, and with sourdough or keto bread on the side.
