Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 1 large, finely chopped tomato
- 3 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon harissa paste
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic, bell pepper, and tomato. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the flavors meld together.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, harissa paste, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let the spices cook for 1 minute to release their aroma.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs evenly over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Tilt the pan to ensure the eggs spread out evenly over the filling.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the eggs.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are set and fully cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the omelet to rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the Tunisian Omelet warm with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
