👨🍳 Instructies

Prepare the vegetables: Finely dice the tomatoes and the bell pepper. Ensure they are uniformly chopped for even cooking.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Sauté the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a tagine or a medium-sized, oven-safe skillet over medium heat (around 180°C / 350°F). Add the diced bell pepper and cook for about 5-7 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the diced tomatoes, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down slightly and the mixture is fragrant and slightly saucy.
⏱️ 10-14 minutes - 3
Add the eggs: While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them lightly with a fork. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once the vegetable mixture is cooked and fragrant, pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Cook the omelette: Reduce the heat to low. Cover the tagine or skillet with a lid (or foil if using a skillet). Let it cook gently for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top. For a firmer omelette, you can place it under a preheated broiler (grill) for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
⏱️ 5-8 minutes - 5
Serve: Remove from heat. Serve the Omelette Berbère directly from the tagine or skillet. It is traditionally enjoyed hot, accompanied by crusty bread for dipping into the flavorful egg and vegetable mixture.
