Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
2 green peppers (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper
6 medium tomatoes, (chopped (about 6 cups chopped tomatoes))
1/2 cup tomato sauce
6 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
  • Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
  • Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

SCRAMBLED PEPPERS AND EGGS



Scrambled Peppers and Eggs image

As in many Mark Bittman recipes, the idea here is more vegetables -- in this case, peppers -- than protein. It works because except for the jalapeño, none of the peppers is hot.
