Here's how it works:

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 onion, diced

400g crushed tomatoes, canned

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp sweet paprika powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

3 eggs

+ a handful of fresh parsley, half of an avocado, cherry tomatoes, freshly ground black pepper

Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and cook for about 3 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook for one more minute.

Add crushed tomatoes and all the spices. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, until it gets thick and full of flavour.

Using a spoon, create 3 wells in the sauce and break the eggs directly into the wells.

Reduce the heat, cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, checking on the yolks. The whites should be set and the yolks still runny.

Top the dish with sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes, sprinkle with minced parsley and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
