6-8 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped or canned peeled tomatoes
4 large (biologische) eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp chili powder (optional)
Chopped fresh cilantro and/orparsley
(Optional) Feta / goat cheeseand/or black pitted olives
Preparation
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat and add the diced onion and finely chopped garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped bell pepper,salt,paprika,cumin,turmeric powder and chilli powder,and cook for an additional minute. (you can also add mushrooms or chickpeas here)
Add the peeled and diced tomatoes into the pan and break down the tomatoes using a large spoon.Make sure it has a runny consistency(you can add ~1/4cup water otherwise). Add ¼ tsp sugar (optional, butmy housemate swears by it)
Put the lidon and bring the sauce to a simmer until the sauce thickens,or until a desired consistency is reached.
Use the large spoon to make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well.(Cracking eggs one at a time into a small bowl before adding them to the pan will ensure that you don't add bad eggs or a piece of shell into the dish!
Cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes (or until the eggs are done to your liking.)
Season the eggs with salt,ground pepper and a dash of olive oil and garnish with chopped cilantro and/or parsley and cheese (optional)
