Serves 2, double the recipe for 4 people!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

• 2 large bunches of spinach or kale (or one packet of frozen spinach for extra no fuss!)

• salt, to taste

• freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

• 2 teaspoons oregano

• 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes

• 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 1/2 teaspoon ginger

• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

• 1 large onion, diced

• 1 garlic clove, diced

• 2 stalks of celery diced

• 1 zucchini diced

• 4 large eggs

• 1 lemon‘s juice and zest

• water

INSTRUCTIONS

• Prep you veggies, then put a shallow Dutch oven or large pan on a medium- high heat.

• Add oil, spices, onion and celery and cook for 7 minutes until onion is translucent. Next add the remaining vegetables and garlic, and sautée for another 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of tap water, give the vegetables a good stir (the spinach or kale should be completely wilted by now), then create dips with the back of your spoon for your eggs. Reduce heat to medium - low.

• Crack eggs onto the dips and sprinkle over lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes or untill the eggs are cooked to your liking (I like my eggs still wobbly).

• To serve, squeeze over lemon juice and then heaps eggs and greens onto a plate. Enjoy!
