Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 4 large tomatoes (red and ripe), finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  2. 02Add the tomato paste and stir well, then add the chopped tomatoes.
  3. 03Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens.
  4. 04Season with salt, black pepper, and cumin. Make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into them.
