¼ bunch parsley
1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 C (375 F) fan-forced grill. Get out a deep oven proof pan or casserole dish and arrange oven racks so there is enough space for the dish to be in the middle. Bring butter to room temperature.
2 tablespoon butter
Mince garlic. Dice onion. Chop capsicum. Slice celery. Reserve some celery fronds for garnish.
4 cloves garlic, 1 brown onion, 1 red capsicum, ½ bunch celery
Add paprika, sumac, cumin, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt and pepper to a small bowl.
2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoon sumac, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper, 2 teaspoon brown sugar
Heat the pan or casserole dish over high heat. Add oil, then cook onion, celery, capsicum, and half the garlic, stirring, until vegetables start to soften and reduce (3-4 mins).
1 brown onion, ½ bunch celery, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 red capsicum
Add canned tomatoes, fill some water in your tomato can and add that, tomato paste, spice mix and olives, then cook for 4 mins or until the sauce thickens a little.
800 g whole baby tomatoes, 2 tablespoon tomato paste, 80 g pitted Kalamata olives
Add couscous and mix through. Make an indent for each egg and crack egg into it. Crumble over feta. Place in the middle of your oven for 8-10 mins.
½ cup couscous, 4 eggs, 100 g feta cheese
Add remaining minced garlic to the butter with salt and mix. Cut bread rolls in half, spread over garlic butter and place in the oven (you can place directly on the rack), cut side up, until golden.
2 tablespoon butter, 2 ciabatta rolls, ½ teaspoon salt
Roughly chop parsley.
Serve kids baked eggs with slices of garlic bread, and you can mix the egg through if they prefer.
