MAKING THE MAGIC
In a pan, saute the onions in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add in the cumin, paprika, turmeric and chilli flakes, stir for a minute. Mix in the thyme, sugar, salt, tomatoes, garlic and green pepper, simmer for 20 minutes.
Make 8 wells in the sauce. Lightly crack an egg into a small bowl and gently pour the eggs into the wells.
Once you have done all 8, lightly season with salt and pepper, cover pan and simmer for approximately 8 minutes, until the egg whites have cooked and the yolks are still runny. Serve on crusty bread and garnish with thyme.
