Method

  1. 1

    Mix the turkey mince with half the garlic, 1 teaspoon of the ground cumin and the ground cinnamon, season well and shape into 16 small meatballs.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and brown the meatballs for 5 minutes, turning, then lift out onto a plate.

  3. 3

    Cook the courgette in the same pan for 4 minutes, then add the remaining garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Pour in the chopped tomatoes, return the meatballs to the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, until cooked through with no pink remaining.

  5. 5

    Make four small gaps in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks still soft.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the fresh coriander and serve straight from the pan.
