Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 14 ounces (1 can) canned diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (fresh, chopped - optional for garnish) parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and add the tomato paste. Stir to combine.
Add the sugar, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Create four small wells in the tomato mixture using the back of a spoon.
Crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny (or to your desired doneness).
Remove from heat and let sit for 1 minute before sprinkling with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or over a bed of greens for a complete meal.
