This was tasty (even though it involved neither garlic nor ginger) and easy.
Pull bag of frozen schwarma out of freezer. Conclude that there's not enough to be a main course for two people. Decide to improvise.
Dice some red potatoes and set to boil for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet and fry schwarma. While that's happening, cut up some summer sausage to supplement.
Remove schwarma; add sausage and cook. Meanwhile, dice a couple of white onions.
Remove sausage; add onions, which pick up a nice flavor from being cooked in the meat fat. Dice half a red bell pepper and add that. Cook until the onions are getting limp.
The potatoes should be softening by now. Add them to the skillet. Dump in some pepper too.
Look at skillet and plate of meat and decide that putting it all in the skillet and then "poaching" eggs in that (the original plan) may make over-cooked meat. (And is it really poaching without significant liquid? So that might not have worked anyway.)
Add meat to skillet; meanwhile, fry eggs in another skillet.
Apply skillet contents to plates and top with eggs.
