Method

  1. Cook the onion in a little olive oil until softened. Add the chorizo and cook for a few minutes until it starts to crisp up. Tip in the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes then stir in half the coriander and season.
  2. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Divide the sauce between two ovenproof dishes and make 2 dips in each. Crack the eggs into the dips. Put on a baking tray then bake for 15-20 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are how you like them. Scatter with coriander and serve with warm pittas.

Make it veggie

If you want a veggie version of this, add chopped red pepper and a pinch of paprika instead of the chorizo.

    Very good - I used parsley instead of corriander - surely more spanish than morrocan though...

    Great recipe, tried it twice. It was a bit too oily for my taste, so second time, I made one change. Put chopped up chorizo on 2 sheets of kitchen paper and put this in a microwave for about 45 seconds. This melts a lot of the fat in the chorizo, and the kitchen paper mops it up. Now, I put this in with the onions. The result was MUCH better, and no floating oil! :)

    Easy and very tasty although I have a fan oven and even at 15 minutes my eggs ended up a little overcooked.
