Roughly chop the onions; cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized pieces.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat with the olive oil, a couple of minutes until hot.
Add the vegetables and garlic cloves, coat in the oil and saute 10 to 12 minutes, stirring every 1 to 2 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the peppers slightly tender.
- 2 cloves garlic
- 5 g chopped parsley
- sea salt
Pound the chopped garlic, parsley and a pinch of sea salt in a mortar to a paste. Mix in the tablespoon of olive oil.
Garlic and parsley sauce in the mortar
- 15 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 3 whole eggs
Crack each egg into its own bowl.
Cracking the eggs into bowls
- freshly cracked black pepper
Season the vegetables with sea salt and black pepper, take off the heat and transfer to a serving dish.
- 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
Heat the same pan over medium heat with the quarter cup of olive oil, a couple of minutes.
Fry 1 to 2 minutes without moving them, for a light crispy underside, then splash hot oil over them for a few seconds only.
Set the eggs over the vegetables and top with the garlic and parsley sauce.
