- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 Tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp coriander
- salt + pepper
- 1 28-oz can of tomato puree or crushed tomatoes
- 1 lime, juice + zest
- 6-8 large eggs
- serrano chiles, thinly sliced
- 1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
In a large and wide pan or cast-iron skillet sauté onion, bell pepper, garlic, lime juice + zest, and spices until aromatic, and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, stir to combine, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Crack and nestle the eggs into the sauce. Cover and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 5 minutes). Garnish with slices of serrano and fresh cilantro. Serve over a bowl of whole grains, or with a piece of crusty whole grain bread.
