Also known as Shakshuka. This can be a breakfast, lunch, or dinner dish. I will have to try this version.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can whole tomatoes, drained, reserve juice, and chopped
  • 6 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey, if needed
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pour the olive oil into a small to medium non stick or cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook the spring onion until softened, then add the garlic, cayenne, and cumin. Next add the tomatoes, salt and pepper, and a bit of tomato juice from the can as well if you desire. Add the honey if the tomatoes are not sweet enough to your taste. Simmer for 15 minutes until the mixture thickens a bit.
  • Once mixture is thickened, crack one egg in each quarter of the skillet. Spread the whites with a fork so that they cover the surface more evenly if you desire. Cover with a lid (I use a glass lid so I can see what is happening) for about 2-3 minutes to set the eggs to your liking. Serve garnished with cilantro and warm fresh bread on the side.
