This one-pot-wonder of a brunch dish sees eggs gently poached in a rich, garlicky sauce of cherry tomatoes, sweet potato, tender British asparagus, olive oil, and spiced with cumin and chilli. Top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and serve it with crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

British asparagus, sweet potato and tomato shakshouka
A wholesome brunch dish
Servings: 2
Calories: 474kcal
Equipment
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp chilli flakes to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large sweet potato (about 400g in total weight) peeled and cut into 1cm chunks
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 400 g cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 British asparagus trimmed and chopped into bite size pieces
- 2 - 4 eggs, depending on appetite
- a small handful coriander chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
To serve:
- a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
- a dollop of Greek yoghurt
Method
- Add the cumin and chilli to a frying pan and set over a medium-high heat to toast for a couple for minutes.
- Once the spices are fragrant, pour in the oil and add the sweet potato cubes, stirring well to mix. Reduce the heat to a minimum and cover the pan with a piece of tin foil (or a lid if you have one). Leave to cook for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the sweet potato is just starting to soften.
- Remove the foil, add the garlic and stir through, then fry for a minute.
- Turn the heat up a little, add the tomatoes and a little salt and pepper and fry for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir through the asparagus, recover loosely with the foil and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Use a wooden spoon to push the vegetables aside to make 2-4 wells in the asparagus mix, cracking an egg into each. Recover loosely with the foil and leave to cook until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5 -8 minutes for a set white and a runny yolk.
- Season with salt and black pepper, scatter over the coriander, top with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately with plenty of crusty bread.
