Instructions

  1. Sauté onions and peppers in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, caraway, and harissa. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer until they break down into a thick sauce. Make four wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny. Garnish with cilantro and serve with fresh bread.
