Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
Heat a large fry pan over medium heat with a quarter cup (60 ml) of extra virgin olive oil.
  • 2 whole onions
  • 6 cloves garlic
Roughly chop the onions and finely slice the garlic; add to the hot oil and stir every one to two minutes, sauteing about 5 minutes until lightly sauteed.
  • 1 whole red bell pepper
  • 1 whole green bell pepper
Cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized pieces, add and saute about 5 minutes, stirring every one to two minutes, without browning.
  • 1¼ g sweet smoked Spanish paprika
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
Add the smoked paprika and cumin and mix quickly so the paprika does not turn bitter.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
Add the can of diced tomatoes, season with sea salt and black pepper, mix and lower to low heat; simmer about 10 minutes.
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 whole eggs
Heat a quarter cup (60 ml) of olive oil in a separate fry pan over medium heat; crack each egg into its own bowl.
Fry two eggs at a time, leaving them unmoved one to two minutes for a crispy underside, then splash hot oil over them for a few seconds without overcooking the yolk.
Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper.
Seasoning and serving from the pan
  • fresh parsley
Off the heat, serve from the pan topped with the fried eggs and fresh parsley, with crusty baguette.
