Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp of olive oil

  • 1 tbsp of tomato paste

  • 2 tsp of minced garlic

  • 1/2 Poblano pepper, diced

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced

  • 4 eggs

  • 1/2 tsp caraway

  • 1 tsp Harissa (depends on the spiciness of the harissa)

  • Salt and pepper

  • 1/2 cup of water

  • French bread

  • Diced green onion (optional)

  • Chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

  • In a medium size skillet over medium heat add oil, garlic, onion and pepper.
  • Sauté the veggies until they are a little soft, then add tomatoes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, harissa, caraway, and salt and pepper with the water and add them to the skillet.
  • Bring it to a simmer and crack your eggs into the skillet. You can  mix the eggs in the sauce or leave them whole – it depends on how you like them!
  • Cook it until you get your desired eggs and remove from heat.
  • Garnish with some parsley and green onion.
  • Serve them with the French bread and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can add some shrimp (no skin or tail) for a nice seafood Ojja. Just add shrimp at the beginning with the veggies.
  • For additional spiciness, add more Harissa.
  • Definition: Harissa is Tunisian hot chili pepper paste that is made from roasted red peppers.
