Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish, traditionally made with tomatoes, but as they're high in potassium, we've avoided them totally here and gone for a vibrant green shakshuka instead, with all the taste of the original. Enjoy it on its own, with crusty bread or with a simple bowl of rice.

Ingredients

• 200g trimmed asparagus spears, halved
• 2 medium courgettes, cut into 1cm dice
• 160g frozen peas
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, finely grated or crushed
• 1 green chilli, seeded and finely chopped
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp roughly chopped coriander
• 1 tbsp roughly chopped mint
• 4 eggs

Method

1. Place the asparagus and courgettes into a saucepan. Add enough cold water to just cover, then set over a high heat and bring to the boil. When boiling, turn the heat down and simmer for 2 minutes until just tender then add the peas and cook for another minute. Drain well and set to one side.
2. Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan until hot. Add the olive oil and onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft but not coloured.
3. Stir in the garlic, green chilli, smoked paprika and cumin seeds and fry for 2 minutes.
4. Add the cooked veg to the pan and stir well, then season with black pepper. Stir fry for 1 minute then stir in half the coriander and mint and flatten the mixture out in the pan.
5. Using the back of a spoon, create 4 "wells" in the mixture. Crack an egg into each one, then cover with a lid and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are just cooked, but still runny in the centre.
6. Remove the lid and scatter the remaining coriander and mint over the top. Serve straightaway.
