Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste, and stir well to combine.

Step 5

Mix in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Simmer the tomato sauce for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring it into the sauce until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Using a spoon, make small wells in the tomato and spinach mixture and crack the eggs into the wells.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook the eggs until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, about 7-10 minutes.

Step 10

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Step 11

Serve immediately, making sure each plate gets a portion of the tomato-spinach mixture and eggs.
