Erin’s colourful and creative vegetarian courses at Woodruffs cost £50, and include plenty of food and complimentary soft drinks. She will be hosting her next Natural Cookery School course at Harts Barn on 7 June. For more info, visit www.naturalcookeryschool.com
Heat the oil and butter in the base of a heavy bottom saucepan, stir in the onions, garlic and sugar and sauté for 5-8 minutes until the onion has softened and turned golden brown.
Stir in the chilli powder and the olives, allow them to cook for 1 minute, then season with salt and pepper.
Push the olive and onion mixture aside to create 4 wells and crack the eggs into them. Place a lid or large plate over the frying pan and cook gently for 4-5 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are firm and the yolks still runny. Sprinkle the zatar over the top and serve.
