Baked Eggs in Spicy Sauce

A Weight Watchers recipe, but don't let that put you off.  Its delicious!

Serves 4

low fat cooking spray
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, de-seeded and roughly chopped
1 courgette, chopped
1/4 tsp chilli powder (or to taste)
300ml vegetable stock
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
25g jalapeno peppers, roughly chopped
handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
4 large eggs

Preheat oven to Gas 3/160'C

Spray a large pan with low fat spray and fry the vegetables for 5 mins until softened.

Stir in the chilli powder, stock and tomatoes.  Cook for 10 - 15 minutes.

Stir in the jalapenos and coriander.

Spoon into an ovenproof dish or 4 individual dishes and make 4 hollows in the sauce. Break the eggs into the hollows, season with salt and pepper and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked as you like them.

Serve.

You can add more or less chilli powder, or use herbs like oregano and thyme instead, use harissa paste and cinnamon with the chilli for a moroccan style flavour. Try different veg as well, aubergine is good in this mix.
