Instructions
Heat a deep, large skillet on medium heat. Slowly warm olive oil in the pan, then add onion and cook for a few minutes until the onion starts to soften. Add garlic and continue to cook until the mixture is fragrant.
Add the sliced bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes longer.
Add chopped tomatoes and tomato paste and stir until combined. Add spices, stir, and allow mixture to simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it starts to reduce.
Add salt and pepper and mix.
Make 6 wells in the sauce and crack the eggs, one at a time, directly on to the tomato mixture into each well, making sure to space them evenly over the sauce.
Cover the pan and allow the mixture to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked and the sauce has slightly reduced. Keep an eye on the skillet to make sure that the sauce doesn't reduce too much, which can lead to burning.
