Instructions

  1. 1

    Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes. Cool under cold running water, then peel and halve the eggs.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add garlic and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers soften.

  4. 4

    Stir in curry powder, smoked paprika, and cumin. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in crushed tomatoes, broth, sugar, salt, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

  6. 6

    Nestle the halved eggs into the sauce, cut-side up. Simmer for 5 more minutes to heat the eggs through.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread or over steamed rice.
