Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 small yellow pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 small green pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 – 2 small red chiles, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 x 14 oz can Italian peeled tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon harissa
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, ground
  • ½ teaspoon fresh paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives or flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 thick slices grainy bread

Directions

1

In a large frying pan over low heat, heat the oil and gently cook the peppers until they are soft, about 10 minutes or so.

2

Stir in the garlic and chile and cook for an additional 1 – 2 minutes.

3

Next, add the tomatoes, harissa and spices, and stir to combine well.

4

Increase the heat to medium and then let the tomato mixture cook uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes have reduced to a thick pulp.

5

Using the back of a spoon, make 4 equally spaced depression in the tomato mixture, then carefully break one egg into each depression.

6

Cover the pan and leave it to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the yolks are still soft, but the whites of the eggs are cooked.

7

Sprinkle with the chives or parsley and serve immediately with toasted grainy bread.
