A very interesting Mediterranean dish. It is a flavoursome one pot meal and enjoyed almost everywhere in the world for breakfast, lunch or a light dinner. Basically, it is poached eggs in a tomato sauce with a combination of delicious flavors. Today, it has many different versions each adding their own spices and ingredients. Enjoy a great Sunday brunch with the family.
