Method

1

Gather your ingredients.

2

Heat the olive oil in a large size pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic cloves, cumin, fennel and sliced green peppers and cook gently for around 10 minutes until peppers soften.

3

Add the kale and cook for another 5 minutes until softened. Then add the spinach, frozen peas and the lemon juice and cook for another 3 minutes.

4

Season with salt and black pepper and gently break the eggs into the pan over the vegetables. Add a splash of water if your pan looks a little dry.

5

Cover and cook for around 5 more minutes, until the egg whites are set and the egg yolks are still runny.

6

Top with fresh dill and chopped spring onions. Optional to add the feta cheese and serve with toasted sourdough.

Delicious, the lemon and dill work well. We only had two eggs, so added 50g extra feta cheese instead. 100g of raw spring onion on top was a lot, so only did a handful. Next time I'd add 2/3 of the spring onion to the greens to cook, then add the rest raw as a garnish.

Delicious! Turbo powered my morning after a strength workout! Who knew eggs and lemon went so well together! I swapped kale for spring greens I had in

It was a bit bland for me. I eat it all as I know how beneficial it is for you but not sure I'd be rushing back to make it again.

Very good and nutrient packed recipe. The flavor didn't go over as well with my family as I'd hoped.

Easy to prepare. Delicious

Love this recipe! I replaced the eggs with tofu scramble with fresh turmeric. Very tasty, particularly with the spices. Makes a good start to the day.

Really delicious and simple. I used French Tarragon instead of dill.

Corinne 1 year ago

I loved how the dill and the spring onions and feta blended perfectly with the greens and the peppers!
And the subtle spices! Ohmigosh, my new favourite!

andreea 1 year ago

It is very easy to do. I did not have the cumin and fennel seeds, but used powder.
Used red pepper and red onion. I would say that cooking times should be shortened, unless you like the pepper to be overcooked and spinach to be lost entirely.
I had baby kale and baby spinach.
Also let’s add some real time in gathering the ingredients. Somebody has to wash and chop those 😅 Enjoy!

Mel 1 year ago

Used broccoli, leek and spinach & added a spoonful of Ottelenghi green harissa paste… was absolutely banging! Can also do it with jammy boiled eggs for a lunchbox recipe :)

Tracey 1 year ago

Tasty, easy to prepare will definitely make again and will use different vegetables

Emily 1 year ago

Very tasty, I had a lot of dill and spring onion left over so I will reduce the quantity of those next time and just chop at end to sprinkle over so I can judge quantity.

Ketki 1 year ago

I didn’t have all the ingredients, so tweaked it a bit . Added edamame beans and lil pesto . It was delicious!!! I didn’t need anything with it- no bread, no rice! One pan meal!

Might be worth bringing veg cooking time down as by the time the eggs are cooked, veg is turning brown and soggy.
