Whole cumin seeds and garlic toasting into the egg while it fries. A sauce being crated in the pan from mild chile paste and then finished off with creamy/salty feta cheese and fresh mint; all in 5 minutes. The egg is truly the ultimate liaison for flavor!
Per person:
1 Tsp Olive oil
1 Pinch Cumin seed (or ground cumin)
1 Clove Garlic, chopped finely
2 Large Eggs
1 Tbl Harissa or Chile paste of choice
2 Tbl Water
2 Tbl Fresh mint
2 Tbl Feta chz
1 Cup Cooked couscous
In a small non-stick skillet over medium heat add the oil. Add the garlic and cumin seed.
Crack the eggs into the pan on top of the spices.
Mix the chile paste and water and pour over the eggs. Cover the pan and allow to cook to desired doneness- 3 minutes will yield a fully cooked white and runny yolk.
Place the couscous on a plate. Slide the eggs with the sauce onto the couscous. Top with the mint and feta and enjoy!
Try the same dish but substitute fennel seed, goat chz and basil or any combination you like. You can use a little chicken broth instead of chile paste and water to create a sauce.
