Step-by-step
- Peel and slice the garlic. If you adore garlic, do not slice it too thinly; if you or your guests are not so keen on it though, cut really thin slices.
- Wash the flat-leaf parsley and leave it whole (stalks and leaves). Wash the tomatoes.
- Pour three-quarters of the water into a very large frying pan (with a lid, which will be used later). Add the garlic, the parsley, the tomatoes, the peppercorns and a pinch of coarse sea salt.
- Cook for 15 minutes at medium heat. Add the remaining water when the water starts evaporating. (If you do not have a large frying pan, split all the ingredients in half, and, when you reach the relevant stage, cook the eggs two at a time).
