2 cups, diced bell peppers (red, yellow, orange, green)
1 tablespoon of harissa seasoning or paste
1 minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
salt and pepper to taste
28 ounces crushed or diced tomatoes
Crumbled feta cheese for garnish (optional)
Crusty bread or corn bread for serving
Make four depressions in the sauce with the back of a big spoon. Crack one egg into each depression. Cook until the egg whites are nearly set, but the yolks are still soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook from the residual heat of the pan. Season with salt and pepper and garnish the top with feta cheese, if desired. Spoon onto plates and serve with bread.
NOTE: Please taste before adding salt and pepper to the eggs. The olives and chipotle pepper may have enough salt and pepper flavor for the dish.
