EGG set up: Direct

Recommended charcoal: Oak & Hickory

EGG target temperature: 180˚C then 140˚C

Cooking time: 1 hour

Method:

  1. Set up your EGG for direct cooking, with the Stainless Steel Grid. Your target temperature is initially 180˚C.

  2. Add the olive oil, onion, red peppers and chilli pepper to the Big Green Egg Paella Pan. Burp your EGG, open the dome and place on the Stainless Steel Grid. Cook, stirring regularly, for 15 minutes. Add the garlic and spices (except the za’atar) and cook, continuing to stir, for a further 10 minutes.

  3. Add the tomatoes, turn your EGG down to 140˚C and cook for 30 minutes. Make small wells in the mixture and crack in your eggs. Cook for a further 6-7 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Scatter over the za’atar and coriander and serve with some fresh flatbreads.
