Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped for garnish fresh parsley
- 4 slices, for serving crusty bread
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (including their juices) to the skillet. Stir to combine and season with salt and black pepper.
Lower the heat, cover, and let the tomato mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using the back of a spoon, make four small wells in the tomato sauce. Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
