Steps

  1. 1
    Soften the onion and peppers in the olive oil over medium heat for 12 minutes until sweet and collapsing.
  2. 2
    Add the garlic, cumin and paprika and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Stir in the harissa and the tomatoes, crushing them with a spoon.
  4. 4
    Simmer 20 minutes until thick enough that a spoon dragged through leaves a trail. A watery base will not hold the eggs.
  5. 5
    Season with salt and pepper, then make six wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon.
  6. 6
    Crack an egg into each well, cover the pan, and cook 6-8 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks still run.
  7. 7
    Scatter with feta and coriander and serve straight from the pan with flatbread.
