Ingredients
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1 yellow onion halved and thinly sliced, medium
- 1 green bell pepper cored and chopped, large
- 1 red bell pepper cored and chopped
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, plus more to your liking
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 1 diced tomatoes 28-ounce can, with their juices
- 1 cannellini beans 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed
- 4 egg large
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped, fresh
- 1/4 cup dill chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Sauté the veggies. In a large pan with a lid, heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Add the coriander, paprika, cumin, Aleppo pepper, and a big dash of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Simmer. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the cannellini beans. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan part-way, allowing just a small opening at the top. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the tomato sauce has thickened a bit.
- Poach the eggs. Uncover the pan and make 4 wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon. Break the eggs and nestle each egg in a well within the sauce. Cover the pan and cook gently for about 5 minutes or until the egg whites have set but the yoke is still somewhat runny.
- Finish and serve. Remove the pan from the heat and finish with another drizzle of olive oil and the fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
