Ingredients

1 medium onion, diced
3-4 garlic cloves, finely sliced or diced
1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
1 red chili, seeded and diced (optional)
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin (or more, to taste)
6 eggs
kosher salt
black pepper
olive oil

Directions

1

Heat a good glug of olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, and add the onion, cooking until if begins to caramelize. Then add the garlic and chili (if using) and cook for 30 seconds longer, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes with their juices, and stir well to combine, reducing the heat to medium-low.
2

Season well with salt and pepper and the cumin. Mix the sauce to combine and allow to simmer for about a minute. Then, crack each egg into the tomato mixture, spacing them out evenly.
3

Season each egg with some pepper and salt, then cover with a lid until just cooked, but the yolks are still runny. Serve straight from the pan with warmed pita alongside.
