Shakshuka

Shakshuka (or shakshouka) is a traditional Tunisian dish featuring poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce with onions, bell pepper, and garlic. It's usually eaten for breakfast, but I think it makes a tasty lunch or dinner, served with lots of bread to mop up the sauce.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ⅓ cups chopped onion
1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers, any color
2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
2 ½ cups chopped tomatoes
1 hot chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
