👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium heat (approx. 190°C / 375°F if finishing in the oven). Add the chopped onion and diced bell peppers. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened and the onion is translucent, about 8-10 minutes. You should see them become tender and slightly glossy.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Stir in the cumin, paprika, harissa paste, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds more, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
⏱️ 1 minute - 3
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir everything together, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly. The sauce should be rich and fragrant.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Using a spoon, create 6 small wells in the simmering tomato sauce. Carefully crack one egg into each well. Ensure the yolks remain intact.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Cover the skillet again and continue to cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are just set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, for perfectly set whites and yolks, you can transfer the oven-safe skillet to a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for 5-7 minutes.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 6
Remove from heat. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve immediately, directly from the skillet.
