Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 medium ripe tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 6 units large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion, and sauté it in the skillet until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
Mince the garlic cloves and dice the tomatoes. Add both to the skillet along with the smoked paprika. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a whisk. Season with the salt and black pepper.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, cooking the eggs slowly until they are softly scrambled and just set.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.
Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of salad for a complete meal.
