🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 1 large, chopped red bell pepper
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 28 ounces (crushed or whole) canned tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Add chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

4. Add the canned tomatoes and their juice to the skillet. Crush the tomatoes if using whole tomatoes.

5. Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

6. Using a spoon, make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well.

7. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, approximately 8-10 minutes.

8. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

9. Serve hot directly from the skillet with crusty bread for dipping.
