Savory Eggs in Tomato Sauce

A take on the Mediterranean classic shakshuka, this is a healthy, vegetarian and savory one pan dish that is filled with protein and fiber.  These poached eggs in a tasty mixture of simmering tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and garlic is a great savory option for breakfast or lunch!

Ingredients:

• 1 tomato

• 1/2 bell pepper

• 2 green onions or 1/2 small onion

• 2 cloves garlic minced

• 1/4 cup of water

• 3/4 cup tomato sauce

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste

• 3-4 pastured eggs

• Salt + Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Dice onion, bell pepper and tomato and sauté on pan over medium high heat for about 6-8 mins or until softened.
2. Reduce heat to low and add water, tomato sauce, tomato paste and minced garlic.
3. Mix well, cover with lid and allow to simmer for 8-10 mins, stirring every few mins.
4. Crack eggs on top of tomato mixture making sure to allow space between each egg.
5. Cover and allow to poach for 5 mins over medium-low heat, or until the whites are cooked. (if you like your eggs fully cooked, you can let them cook longer so they aren’t runny).
6. Enjoy hot with a side of fruit and veggies!
