Chocolate meringues

This North African dish is satisfying, comforting and wonderfully easy to make. It’s versatile enough for a nourishing, quick weekday dinner, or lazy weekend brunch. Add some marinated olives and labneh for a meze feast.
1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil.
2. Add the sausage and brown over a high heat for 5 minutes.
3. Add the canned and fresh tomatoes to an ovenproof dish and tip in the browned sausage meat. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake at 180°C for 10 minutes, or until softened and slightly reduced.
5. Make small hollows in the sauce using the back of a spoon, then crack 1–2 eggs per person into the hollows. Season, then return to the oven for 7–10 minutes or until the eggs are jammy.
6. Garnish with the parsley and serve with the naan and hummus.
