Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 250 grams of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper chopped
  • Handful of coriander leaves
  • 2 tablespoons of tomato

          paste or puree

  • 1 teaspoon of sugar (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 

Let’s make them!

  • With your mom’s help take a large pan and fry the onions and the garlic in the oil until the onions get browned, then add the bell pepper and cook it down.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar and the tomato puree and cook it well.
  • Then add a half a cup of water and let the sauce thicken. Taste and adjust the sauce as you like it with seasonings.
  • Once the sauce is thick, make some holes in the sauce and crack the eggs into the sauce.
  • Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook the eggs for a few minutes until they are set. Don’t cook for too long otherwise the eggs will get rubbery.
  • Garnish with the chopped coriander leaves, and now you’re ready to serve.
  • Serve the tomato eggs with some crusty bread to mop up the sauce and a fresh green salad.
