How to: Cook Egg and Tomato Bake!

Todays recipe is perfect if you don't have much time to cook and want a quick meal. This will take less than 30 minutes including preparation and cooking time. It's ideal for lunch, although you can eat any time of the day.

So lets get started!

You will need:

(Based on serving for 3 people)

* 1 tablespoon cooking oil
* 1.5-2 cans of tinned plum or chopped tomatoes
* 2 red onions
* 2 garlic cloves
* salt (to taste)
* chopped fresh corriander
* 1 teaspoon of ground cummin powder
* 2-3 Peppercorns
* Black seeds (nigella seeds-optional)
* 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
* Eggs
* Baby spinach
* Cheese (I'm using cheddar)
* Toast or bread to serve

First heat the oil in a pan and add the onions. Add a little salt to help the onions to dissolve. Once the onions are softened add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and let cook for further 2 minutes. Add the black seeds, peppercorns, ground cummin powder and salt to taste and cook for a few minutes on medium heat. Sprinkle in chopped corriander and cook for 1 minute there after the mixture is complete.

Next you need to plate up the mixture into small bowls. Each bowl will serve one person. First spoon in some of the tomato mixture and then crack 1-2 eggs. Add some baby spinach on top and grated cheddar cheese (or any other cheese).

Finally heat the mixture in the grill for around 10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and the cheese has melted. Serve with toast or bread.

How to cook tasty mince meat and peppers

So this is a dish which I have learnt from my mother, and as I love it so much I thought I would share with you.

Just a note that when I cook I rarely use measurements- I prefer to guess and add according to taste (or in my case smell) Yes I smell my food to see whether it needs more spice, lol don't ask why but it works for me.

So the measurements that I will provide are approximate, but remember you can adjust according to taste.

This will feed approx 3-4 people

• 500g lamb mince meat
• Red and green peppers
• garlic cloves or powder (or can use both)
• Ginger (fresh or powder) approx 3 cloves/1 teaspoon
• Black Seeds/Nigella Seeds
• Garam Masala
• Salt
• Coriander
• Chilli powder and fresh chillies
• Curry Powder
• 1 large onion
• Oil
• Tomatoes

So first heat the oil (approx 1 teaspoon) then add the chopped onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add the mince meat and cook for further 3 minutes then add the garlic and ginger, salt and all the spices. After 10 minutes add the peppers and cook until they soften. The mince meat should be cooked until brown (approx 30 minutes in total) Once cooked the onions should have softened and dissolved with the meat.

So that's how I make mince meat. I will use the same technique to make the mince for shepherds pie, although I will add potatoes instead of the peppers.

I like to have this with basmati rice and with a tasty salad. I add Cheddar cheese, juice of a lemon and mint sauce to my salad. This meal will provide protein, carbohydrates and nutrients.

I may do a separate blog post/video for other recipes if it is requested.
