For a richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted tomatoes. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or eggplant. Serve with crusty bread or pita for dipping into the sauce. A dollop of Greek yogurt or labneh adds a cool, creamy contrast.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, and jalapeno; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent. (Approx. 5 minutes)
02
StepAdd the bell pepper and tomatoes. Cook the vegetables until the tomatoes have broken down and released their juices. (Approx. 10 minutes)
03
StepStir in the sweet paprika, hot paprika, salt, and pepper and let the mixture simmer. (Approx. 3 minutes)
04
StepAdd the tomato paste and water and mix well.
05
StepWhen the vegetables have a sauce-like consistency, add the saffron and parsley. Crack the eggs on top of the sauce (as though you're making sunnyside-up eggs); cover the pan and let the eggs cook until the yolks reach your desired consistency. (Approx. 10-15 minutes)

Apr 28, 2025I found it a little too spicy with the jalapeno and 2 tablespoons of hot paprika. I'll reduce the amount next time.
