Ingredients

Potatoes, Raw

600 g, larger ones halved

Courgette

2 medium, halved lengthways, then sliced on the diagonal

Yellow pepper

1 medium, deseeded and sliced into thin wedges

Calorie controlled cooking spray

6 spray(s)

Thyme, Fresh

1 teaspoon(s), chopped, plus extra leaves to garnish

Onion

1 large, red, sliced into thin wedges

Cherry Tomatoes

200 g, halved

Egg, whole, raw

4 large, raw

Basil, fresh

1 tablespoon(s), finely chopped, plus extra leaves to garnish

Parsley, fresh

1 tablespoon(s), finely chopped

Black pepper

1 pinch, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and leave to dry.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the courgettes and pepper, mist with cooking spray and toss together with the thyme.
  3. Mist a large nonstick pan with cooking spray, then cook the onion until soft, about 6-8 minutes, over a medium-low heat. Add the potatoes, courgettes and pepper and season to taste. Add a splash of water, lower the heat, and cover; cook for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through.
  4. Remove the lid, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, for 4 minutes until the veg starts to char. Transfer to a bowl and put the tomatoes in the pan. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute until softened. Return all the veg to the pan and set aside.
  5. Bring a large, wide pan of water to a simmer and add the vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small cup and then carefully pour into the pan in one go. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook for 3 minutes until the whites are firm and the yolks soft. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
  6. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a pan of simmering water and poach for about 3 minutes until the whites are just set and the yolks are still soft. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper. Toss the herbs through the veg, then serve topped with the eggs, the extra thyme and basil and freshly ground black pepper.
