Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoons pepper
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 cups, crumbled (optional) feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional minute to release the spices' aroma.

Step 4

Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Using a spoon, make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.

Step 7

Remove the pan from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with warm crusty bread or pita for dipping.
