Ingredients
- 600 g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 1.5cm pieces
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp coarsely chopped sage
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 bunch silverbeet (see notes)
- 400 g can cherry tomatoes
- 400 g can salt-reduced kidney beans, drained, rinsed
- 1/3 cup water
- 8 eggs
- 1 tbsp dukkah
- 1 tbsp small parsley leaves
Method
- 1Preheat oven 200°C.
- 2Place pumpkin, oil, sage and pepper in a large ovenproof frying pan. Stir to combine. Bake for 20 minutes or until pumpkin is just tender.
- 3Discard three-quarters of the silverbeet stalks, finely chop remaining stalks and leaves. Add tomatoes, silverbeet, kidney beans and water to pan with pumpkin. Press all ingredients down so as much of the silverbeet is submerged as possible. Return to oven and bake, stirring halfway through cooking time, for a further 15 minutes or until bubbles appear.
- 4Using the back of a wooden spoon, make eight indents in the pumpkin mixture. Crack an egg into each one, then return to the oven and bake for 12 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are runny. Sprinkle with dukkah and parsley to serve.
Notes
You will need 3 1/2 cups of chopped silverbeet for this recipe. Swap canned cherry tomatoes with a can of diced tomatoes, if you like.
