Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Mix the lamb mince with the cumin, cinnamon, half the mint (chopped), and 1 crushed garlic clove. Season well.

  2. 2

    Shape into 12 small kofta-style balls and brown in olive oil in an ovenproof dish or pan for 3–4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Crush the remaining garlic and add to the pan along with the chopped tomatoes. Stir and bring to a simmer, cooking for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make 4 wells in the sauce, crack an egg into each, and season. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the eggs are just set.

  5. 5

    Scatter with the remaining fresh mint and serve with flatbreads or couscous.
