Method

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables. Heat 1 tbsp of 30 ml extra-virgin olive oil in a 30-35 cm cast-iron frying pan over medium heat; cook 140 g diced onion, 2 diced medium green peppers and 2 seeded, finely chopped jalapeños about 10 minutes until tender and starting to colour.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic. Add 3 thinly sliced garlic cloves and cook 1-2 minutes, then add 340 g peeled and diced Yukon Gold potatoes; lower the heat slightly and cook 5 minutes, stirring now and then.

  3. 3

    Season Stock. Season the vegetables with ¾ tsp fine salt, ¼ tsp ground black pepper and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves; pour in 360 ml vegetable stock and cook over medium-low about 15 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and the potatoes are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Greens. Add 450 g finely chopped broccoli rabe (thick stems removed) and cook, stirring, until wilted and reduced; fold in ½ tsp chilli flakes and check the seasoning, then turn off the heat and smooth the vegetables.

  5. 5

    Grill. Heat the grill to high with a shelf near the top; make 4 shallow hollows and crack a large egg into each.

  6. 6

    Finish. Grill 1½-2 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolks still runny; dust each egg with finely grated Parmesan and drizzle with the remaining oil before serving.

Storage

Serve straight away. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
