Moroccan Eggs

Delicious spicy Moroccan Eggs add rustic warmth to an Autumn day.

I love to make a hot lunch over the weekend to break from my regular weekday sandwiches in a rush.  A meal is far more enjoyable with time on my side and my family around the table chattering away.

This recipe is rustic, warm and filling for the Autumn weather, which has now hit my city of Melbourne. How lovely to break bread over the table and dip away into this spicy brunch alternative.

Eggs are so versatile. But I must admit I have my few egg recipes that get rehashed over again. This new Moroccan Eggs will be added to my repertoire.

This recipe was adapted from Colour of Maroc by Rob and Sophia Palmer – A visually stunning book I was lucky to receive as a gift. Book review to come shortly.

• 1/2 red capsicum, sliced finely
