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!

PERSIAN EGGS POACHED IN TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic. Stir-fry for a minute, then reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking vegetables for 3 or 4 minutes so that the onion becomes translucent with a little color around the edges.
• Add the tomatoes and simmer. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Once the sauce has cooked, use the back of a spoon to create 4 rounded wells, one in each quarter of the pan. Carefully break each egg and place into each of the hollows.
• Cover pan with a lid leaving it partially open to allow some heat and moisture to escape. Cook until eggs reach your preferred level of doneness.
• Carefully scoop egg with some sauce onto serving plates. Garnish with chives.
• Serve with warmed pita or other flatbread of choice.
• •Variation: You can make this a little spicier, add a small chili to the onions. If you do so, you may want to omit the chives and instead garnish with finely chopped parsley.

• Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Stir in the cumin seeds, paprika and cook slightly to color the oil, about 10 to 15 seconds. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent and wilted but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce down a little bit. Add the peppers,harissa,1 cup water and salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add more water as needed to keep it from drying out.
• Using a spoon, form four small indentations in the simmering peppers to hold the eggs. One by one, crack the eggs into a small bowl and slip each from the bowl into an indentation. Cover and simmer for another 10 minutes or so until eggs are cooked through.
• Garnish with some parsley and serve with crusty bread.
• ** Note: can use other vegetables like eggplants, potatoes and zucchini in place of bell pepper.
