Braised eggs with pita bread, tomatoes & za'atar (Beyd makli ma' khobez w za'atar) from Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from my Palestine (page 45) by Sami Tamimi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Easy satisfying breakfast! We loved it. Portion size says four people but we finished it in one sitting as just two people. Don’t know if the portion size was intended to be small or if we just eat way too much :-)

    I made a version of this that was GF and using what I had at hand, but keeping the flavours intact. A delish way to start the day. I quite like this style of egg - Ottolenghi has a few different recipes for braised eggs, and Wolfert has many "Eggs on ...." recipes in her book on The Cooking of the Eastern Med.
