Ingrediente

2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 large yellow onion (chopped)

1 green peppers (chopped)

3-4 garlic cloves, (chopped)

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp sweet paprika

1/4 tsp ground cumin

Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper

2 small cans of hand crushed peeled plum tomatoes

4 large eggs

small handful of chopped fresh parsley leaves

small handful chopped fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instrucțiuni

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.

Add hand crushed tomatoes and a little water if too dry. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.

Reduce the heat, and cook on low until the egg are cooked but the yolk is still runny. You can use a spoon to mix some of the egg white with the tomato sauce to help it cook faster.

Add the fresh parsley and mint, if using. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.
