Ingredients
  
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1½ tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ras el hanout
  • 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, coarse ground
  • 1 can peeled San Marzano Tomatoes, 28-ounce
  • fresh mint, to garnish
Instructions
 
  • Warm oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Then, cook the onion and red bell pepper until the onions become translucent and soften, for about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another minute.
  • Stir in the harissa paste, paprika, cumin, ras el hanout, kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, then crush the tomatoes with your hand into the pot.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the tomatoes from sticking.
  • Make a well in the tomato mixture using the back of a spoon. Add an egg to the well and repeat with the remaining eggs. Cover and bake it in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the whites have set. Garnish with fresh mint.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Crack the eggs into the spiced tomato sauce one at a time using a liquid measuring cup. Using the measuring cup makes it easy to drop the eggs where I want them in the sauce.
  • If you have hotspots in your oven, I recommend rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Prepare the dish in a stainless steel pan or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to simmer the ingredients and finish it in the oven.
