Ingredients
Ingredients
- olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- mushrooms, sliced
- salt
- red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- cumin
- paprika
- turmeric
- black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- water
- 6 large eggs
- feta cheese, crumbled
- parsley, chopped
Directions
Warm up a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Toss in your onions and mushrooms with a pinch of salt, and sauté them for about 10 minutes until the mushrooms have released their juices and are beautifully browned.
Stir in the bell peppers and jalapeños, cooking for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender and vibrant.
Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir for about a minute to let those spices "bloom" and fill your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Pour in the tomatoes and water, then lower the heat to medium. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the flavors have turned sweet and rich. (If the sauce looks a bit too thick, feel free to stir in a little more water.)
Use a large spoon to create small "nests" or wells in the sauce for your eggs. To keep the yolks intact, crack each egg into a small bowl first, then gently slide it into its own spot in the pan.
Give the eggs a quick seasoning of salt and pepper, then cover the skillet and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are exactly as runny as you like them.
Finish your masterpiece with a generous sprinkle of feta cheese and fresh parsley, and serve it right away!
