A simple and delicious Moroccan dish, perfect for a light meal or brunch. 😊

Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 4 ripe tomatoes
• 3 eggs
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A few sprigs of parsley or fresh coriander for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

Prepare the tomatoes:

• Peel the tomatoes (you can blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds to make this easier).
• Dice them into small pieces.

                   Sauté the garlic:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until lightly golden.

 Cook the tomatoes:

• Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet.
• Sprinkle in the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
• Let it simmer over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are well-reduced and the sauce is thick.   

 Cook the eggs

• Make small wells in the tomato sauce with a spoon.
• Crack the eggs directly into these wells.
• Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook over low heat until they are done to your liking (runny or firm yolks).

Serve:

• Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or coriander.
• Serve hot with Moroccan bread, a baguette, or any bread of your choice.

Tip:

You can add a touch of harissa for a slightly spicy version. This dish is quick, flavorful, and satisfying. Enjoy! 🍳🍅
