i’m feeling... hungover

CHILLI AND CUMIN FRIED EGGS

OK, you probably shouldn’t have had that last drink (or the three before that),

but you did. There’s no time for the self-blame game – only a breakfast that

will quell your throbbing headache and soothe your tormented tummy. Try

these chilli and cumin fried eggs with a very strong coffee and a nap.

INGREDIENTS

2 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp whole cumin seeds

1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes

2 eggs, at room temperature

salt and pepper

toast or pita bread, to serve

HOW TO

Set a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the cumin

seeds and chilli. Cook for about 30 seconds, then gently crack in the eggs.

Tip the pan so you can scoop up a little bit of the hot oil and spoon this over

the top of the eggs, then cover with a lid and cook for three minutes.

Remove the lid – the whites should be set and crispy around the edges

and the yolks just starting to set. Take the pan off the heat and carefully

slide the eggs onto a waiting plate.

If you like your yolks hard (no judgment, it takes all kinds), cover the pan

and keep cooking the eggs for another three to five minutes. Sprinkle over

lots of salt and pepper and eat with lavishly buttered hot toast.

Makes a hangover-beating breakfast for one.

good morning, sunshine
