Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 350g (12oz) onions, peeled and chopped
- 2 green pepper, deseeded and cut into strips

- 1 tbsp basil, chopped, plus tiny leaves to garnish
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 British Lion eggs

Method
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onions until they are soft but not brown. Add the peppers and cook slowly with the onion until soft.
- Add the tomatoes with the basil and seasoning. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
