Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 200C. Heat a frying pan over low-medium heat, add fat and onion, and cook until soft (3-5 minutes). Add tomatoes and cook until mixture thickens (8-10 minutes). Season to taste then add artichoke, salami, olives and preserved rind, stir to combine then transfer to a warmed 1-litre shallow baking dish. Make four wells in the mixture and break an egg into each, then bake until whites are set but yolks are still soft (10-15 minutes). Scatter with mint and chilli flakes, and serve.

Note Duck fat, lard, tallow or coconut oil are all my preference. Buy prepared artichoke hearts from a delicatessen or, cook your own: peel and trim fresh globe artichokes, cook for 5 minutes in boiling water, then remove the chokes.
