Ingredients

  • 2 x 70g packs pancetta pieces
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 peppers, 1 each of green, red and yellow, deseeded and finely diced
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 4 medium eggs
  • small handful basil leaves, shredded
  • crusty bread, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Put the pancetta and onion in a large, deep frying pan. Cook for 7 mins until the onion is beginning to soften.

  2. Add the peppers, tomatoes and tomato purée to the pan and mix well. Season, cover and cook for 10-15 mins.

  3. Make 4 small wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well and cook for a further 5-6 mins or until the eggs have set. Scatter with basil and serve straight away, with crusty bread, if you like.
