Sylvia Colloca’s baked eggs with peperonata: Method
- Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and cook the shallots and garlic for 2–3 minutes, or until the shallots have softened and the garlic smells fragrant.
- Add the capsicum, vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt and cook for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the crushed Mutti Peeled Tomatoes.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and leave to stew gently for 20–25 minutes.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium–high. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly. Crack the eggs into the pan and then cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, top with basil leaves and serve in the pan.
