Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large onions
- 3 to 4 ripe tomatoes
- 3 bell peppers
- 3 eggs
- 2 garlic cloves
- ½ cup water
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Spices: salt, black pepper, paprika, ground coriander
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
-
Slice the onions thinly and mince the garlic for maximum flavour.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onions and garlic, sauté until translucent and softened (about 5-7 minutes).
-
Slice fresh peppers into rings or strips, or use frozen ones (thawed and drained). Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
-
Chop tomatoes (keep the seeds!) and add them to the pan. Simmer for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is saucy.
-
Stir in salt, pepper, paprika, and coriander. If the mixture seems dry, add up to half a cup of water. Taste and adjust seasoning.
-
Use a spoon to create 3 small wells. Crack an egg into each. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
-
Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you like. Serve right away with your favourite bread, matlouh, crusty baguette, or warm pita are all perfect.
