There is a cure though:
We all do our part, hopefully, to live sustainably. Part of my pact with myself is to try to eat vegetarian for almost all of my meals except dinner. And even with dinner, I still try to limit the meat intake. Though I'm not a regular eater of beef which apparently is one of the highest on the carbon footprint list (just sayin').
This recipe is not difficult, but can feel quite time-consuming if you're very hungry.
Oven Baked Eggs with Harissa, Goat Cheese and Roasted Vegetables
serves 1-3
1 sliced yellow bell pepper
1 sliced red bell pepper
1 sliced zucchini (medium thin slices)
2-3 large shallots halved
1 log of goat cheese (chevre) (my favorite is the peppery Spanish kind if you can find it)
2-6 best quality eggs
As much harissa as you can stand
1 green chile
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon salted butter
Small ceramic baking dishes
Preheat oven to 400 F/200 C
Prepare all the vegetables. Sear the green chile over a gas flame until blackened all over. Let cool and then peel. Remove the stem and chop coarsely. Set aside.
On a wide baking sheet, lay out the vegetables in one row. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for around 10-15 minutes.
In the ceramic dish/es, add a bit of butter, then a smear of harissa (this is usually how much I can take spice wise). Lay several thick coins of goat cheese on the bottom. When the vegetables are roasted, lay the vedge over the goat cheese and then crack one to two eggs on top.
In the already warm oven place the filled dishes and wait around 10-15 minutes until the whites are set.
This dish might improve by baking the eggs more slowly, but I'm usually too hungry to try!
I get Harissa in a tube these days. You can also search for my homemade Harissa recipe which is a spicy taste of heaven, as well on the search bar above.
