2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 large red capsicum, chopped
1 small brown onion, chopped
2 Tbsp no-added-salt tomato paste
1 tsp smoked paprika
Pinch chilli flakes
4 large tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
4 x 60g eggs

1 Heat oil in a large non-stick
frying pan over medium heat.
Add the capsicum, onion, tomato
paste, paprika and chilli flakes.

5-7 minutes or until the onion
softens. Stir in the tomatoes and
cumin. Bring to the boil. Reduce
