Instructions
- 01
To a deep pan over medium heat, add olive oil and tomato paste. Saute tomato paste for two minutes to remove some of the acidity. Add the garlic and quickly saute.
- 02
Mix in the tomatoes and red bell pepper and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until softened.
- 03
Add water and all the spices (turmeric, paprika, cumin, ginger, salt, black pepper, and cayenne powder). Mix until evenly combined and cook for another 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the chopped parsley and cilantro and mix again. Taste and make sure the sauce is perfect.
- 04
Once the sauce is bubbling, crack in the eggs gently. Cover and let it cook for about 6 to 7 minutes until the whites are set. Cooking time will vary depending on if you like the yolks runny or hard.
- 05
Garnish with a sprinkle of dried mint and enjoy with bread!
