Preparation
- In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown.
- Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape.
- Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the “walls” of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg.
- Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- NOTE: To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce.
- Enjoy!
