Steps:

  • In a saucepan, gently fry the onion, garlic, sausage and bay leaf in olive oil, until the onion has softened a little and the sausage has started to release its juices.
  • Add the frozen peas and 400 ml hot water and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to boil, cover pan with a lid and simmer until the peas are cooked - approx 15 minutes.
  • Remove lid from pan, crack open each egg one by one into the peas mixture. Replace the lid and allow the eggs to poach in the peas mixture until cooked.
  • Remove from the heat, sprinkle the coriander over and serve, ensuring that each person gets an egg and a few slices of the sausage.
  • Delicious served with fresh crusty bread.
