Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Red chili pepper
- 4 Red or yellow banana peppers
- 28 ozs Tomatoes
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- salt
- 1 splash lemon juice
- ground Cumin
- freshly ground peppers
- 4 eggs
- 3 ½ ozs cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp Caper
- freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)
Preparation steps
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Rinse the peppers, remove the ribs and seeds and slice thinly. Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water and transfer to an ice bath. Remove the skins, squeeze out the seeds over a strainer, reserving the juice, and dice.
Sauté the onion, garlic and peppers in olive oil for about 1-2 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice and season with lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Make 4 wells in the vegetable mixture and crack the eggs into them. Crumble the feta cheese over the eggs and sprinkle the capers over everything. Cover and cook on low for about 5 minutes, until the egg whites are opaque and the yolks are still runny.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
