Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 brown onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 red pepper
- 4 tomatoes diced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp ground paprika
- 2 cans diced tomato
- ¼ cup Parmesan finely grated (optional)
- ½ avocado chopped (optional)
- salt and Pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Place the red pepper in an oven-proof dish and drizzle with olive oil. Grill in the oven for 10–15 minutes or until blistered. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Peel off the blistered skin. Remove the top and seeds, slice, and set aside.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet on MED-HIGH. Add the onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until aromatic.
- Add the diced fresh tomato, blistered red pepper, and spices. Mix and allow to simmer.
- Pour in the 2 cans of diced tomato, season with salt and pepper, and mix. Reduce the heat. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
- Make 6 craters in the sauce. Place an egg in each one. Lightly sprinkle on the Parmesan, the diced avocado, and the cilantro.
Notes
- Opt for the freshest and highest quality ingredients for the sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer sufficiently to help the flavors amalgamate and deepen.
- The eggs should be poached directly in the sauce, so aim for a semi-runny consistency.
