Peppers and Eggs

Dairy


Ingredients

Adapted from “Hip Kosher” by Ronnie Fein

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
2 small habanero or red chili peppers, seeded and minced
1 large garlic clove, minced
6-8 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 Tbsp minced fresh basil
1 Tbsp lemon juice
8 large eggs
3/4 tsp zatar (a Middle Eastern spice blend)


Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and habanero peppers. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until softened slightly.

2. Add the garlic and cook briefly. Add the tomatoes, basil and lemon juice. Stir, cover the pan, turn the heat to low and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very soft and saucelike.

3. Crack the eggs into a small bowl one at a time. Transfer each one next to the other over the vegetables. Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the eggs are set but yolks are still slightly runny. Sprinkle with zatar. Serve each person 2 eggs and some of the vegetables.
