Ottolenghi’s Braised Eggs With Leek And Za’atar
  1. Heat the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil into a large sauté pan with a lid and place over medium-high heat.

  2. Once the butter starts to foam, add the leeks, ½ teaspoon of salt, and plenty of pepper.

  3. Fry, stirring frequently, until the leeks are soft, about 3 minutes.

  4. Add the vegetable broth, lemon, and cumin.

  5. Bring to a boil and cook until most of the broth has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes.

  6. Add the spinach and fold in until wilted, about 1 minute.

  7. Reduce the heat to medium.

  8. Use a large spoon to make 6 indentations in the mixture.

  9. Break 1 egg into each space.

  10. Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt, dot the feta around the eggs, then cover the pan.

  11. Simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes.

  12. Meanwhile, mix the za'atar with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.

  13. Brush the za'atar over the eggs.

  14. Serve at once, straight from the pan.
