NORTH AFRICAN-STYLE POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• 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!
