1 Tablespoon Kosher salt

Chili zhoug (recipe below)
Heat a large cast iron skillet with 1/2-cup of olive oil over medium heat. Once it begins to smoke, add the cherry tomatoes and blister 1 minute until golden brown. Once tomatoes are blistered, add onions, garlic, bell peppers, Jerusalem artichokes and fava beans. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes until all vegetables are tender, but not turning golden brown. Add the tomato sauce and salt. Bring to a simmer and crack eggs into the pan in different areas. Place a cover on the pan and cook until egg whites have set but yolk is still runny. Remove lid and pull the pan from the heat. Sprinkle all sliced green onions on top. Dollop green chili zhoug on top, drizzle on a little extra virgin olive oil and serve with warm pita bread.
