Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium (or 14-ounce canned) Tomatoes, fresh or canned, finely chopped
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 2 servings Bread or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start breaking down and releasing their juices.
Pour in the vegetable broth, then stir in the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Using a spoon, create small wells in the tomato broth. Crack one egg into each well, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the eggs cook for 5–8 minutes, or until the whites are set, and the yolks reach your preferred doneness.
Taste the broth and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired.
Serve hot, either on its own or with bread or rice for a heartier meal.
