Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
2 tablespoons harissa paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 oz diced tomato, 2 cans
5 large eggs
fresh parsley, chopped, to serve
1 loaf baguette, to serve

Steps:

  • In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown.
  • Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape.
  • Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the "walls" of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg.
  • Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  • NOTE: To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce.
  • Enjoy!
