Ingredients
-
Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 large green bell pepper, cored and chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, plus more to your liking
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juices
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Directions
- Sauté the veggies.In a large pan with a lid, heat about 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Add the coriander, paprika, cumin, Aleppo pepper, and a big dash of salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Simmer.Add the tomatoes with their juices and the cannellini beans. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover the pan part-way, allowing just a small opening at the top. Simmer for about 20 minutes or until the tomato sauce has thickened a bit.
- Poach the eggs.Uncover the pan and make 4 wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon. Break the eggs and nestle each egg in a well within the sauce. Cover the pan and cook gently for about 5 minutes or until the egg whites have set but the yoke is still somewhat runny.
- Finish and serve.Remove the pan from the heat and finish with another drizzle of olive oil and the fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
Recipe Note
You can substitute the cannellini beans with other tender and mild legumes, like Great Northern, butter beans, navy beans, or chickpeas.
For a vegan version of this recipe, simply leave out the eggs. The beans are hearty and satisfying enough to stand on their own.
