Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the peppers are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and stir in the tomato paste. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the tomato mixture. Stir to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Using the back of a spoon, create six small wells in the simmering sauce. Crack an egg into each well, making sure they are spaced out evenly.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 5-8 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.

Step 9

Remove the lid and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately, enjoying the delicious combination of poached eggs and spiced tomato sauce.
