Finely chop the onion, red capia pepper, green peppers, and garlic.
Soften the onion and peppers in olive oil for 7 minutes.
Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, and salt, then fry for 1 minute.
Add the grated tomatoes and thicken the sauce for 10 minutes.
Make six wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs.
Cover the pan and cook the eggs for 5 minutes, until the whites set.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with white cheese and toasted bread.
💡 Tip: Thickening the sauce before adding the eggs keeps the whites from staying watery.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve straight from the pan with toasted bread, white cheese, and parsley.
