Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 14 ounces canned tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Gently add the eggs, and boil them for about 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool.

Step 2

While the eggs are cooling, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the curry powder, cumin powder, and turmeric powder to the onion mixture. Stir well to coat the onions and cook for 1 minute to release the spices' flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the canned tomatoes, along with their juice, into the skillet. Stir to combine, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Gently mix in the baby spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt in the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Carefully peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Nestle the egg halves into the sauce, yolk-side up.

Step 9

Cover the skillet, and allow the eggs to simmer in the sauce for 5 minutes, so they absorb some of the curry's flavor.

Step 10

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving. Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Curried Eggs warm as a main course or a flavorful addition to any meal.
