Spicy Mediterranean Shakshouka

Ingredients

1/4 to 1/2 cup oil

2 chili peppers, cleans and finely diced

2 sweet peppers, cleaned and finely diced

8-10 cloves of garlic, crushed or chopped

1 finely chopped onion

5 medium tomatoes, ripe, diced medium

Salt to taste

1 to 1 ¼ level tablespoons cayenne pepper

4 eggs

Method

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan on a high flame.  Add the peppers, garlic, onion and tomatoes.  Stir and reduce the flame.  Simmer for several minutes until all vegetables are softened.  Stir occasionally.  Season with salt and cook for another 7 – 10 minutes.  Add the cayenne pepper and cook a few minutes more.

Break the eggs open, and position them in the center of the mixture.  Gently push the whites down into the sauce, and keep the yolks whole.  Cook until the eggs set.  Remove from the heat and serve hot.
