She started by dicing the onions and capsicums. Then over medium heat, she fried off the onions until they become translucent.

The cook added the capsicums and cook them for a further five to six minutes.

She added spices, salt and pepper, then the crushed tomatoes and allowed it to simmer for about two minutes, before creating small ‘wells’ in the sauce.

The woman then cracked the eggs in, and covered the pan with a lid to allow the eggs to poach. The eggs can be cooked to your liking – whether the yolk is runny or fully cooked.

Garnish with parsley and serve with bread.
