Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup (160 g) chopped yellow or white onion
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1 small jalapeno or serrano pepper finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ¼-½ teaspoon cayenne pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 28-ounce (800 g) can crushed tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Pour the oil into a large, deep skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and chili and cook about 5 minutes, or until the onion is softened but not browned.
  • Stir in the spices, harissa paste and 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and beans, stir, and bring to a simmer.
  • Cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is the consistency of thick jam. Remove the pan from the heat. Use the back of a spoon (a ladle works well) to make 6 wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each one.
  • Put the pan back over medium heat and cover. Cook 4-6 minutes, just until the whites are set and opaque and the yolks are still runny. The eggs will continue to cook for a few minutes after you take the pan off the stove, so keep that in mind and cook to your preference.
  • Sprinkle the feta cheese and cilantro over the eggs and serve warm with toasted bread or pita.

Notes

To make ahead: You can make the sauce and refrigerate up to 5 days ahead. Reheat gently in a skillet until simmering, then add the eggs and cook according to the directions.
