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