Ingredients and Directions
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons harissa paste or 1 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium roasted bell peppers, small dice
- 6 eggs
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juices
- 1 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 sprig of rosemary (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional)
Directions
Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add onion and cook until just softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, harissa, and garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add peppers and stir to coat. Add tomatoes and salt and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. At this point you can store & freeze it. If you want to eat it right away, you take the back of a spoon and make a few dents in the sauce (however many eggs is however many dents). In the indentations, crack the eggs and wait till the eggs solidify. Decorate with rosemary sprig and / or chopped parsley and Serve with toast!
