Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 large onion, small dice
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • A pinch – ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 15 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes (plain is fine too)
  • 1 cup spinach coarsely chopped
  • 4 large pastured eggs
  • 4 tablespoons goat cheese (optional)
  • Cilantro chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil over medium-low heat in a 10-12-inch skillet.
  2. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute more.
  4. Add oregano, turmeric, cumin, paprika, red pepper, black pepper and salt. Cook about 1 minute to toast spices.
  5. Add tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  6. While cooking, use a fork to mash the tomatoes so there are no big pieces.
  7. Add spinach, stir until wilted. Taste to adjust salt.
  8. Make 4 small indentation in the tomatoes with a spoon. Crack the eggs into the dents in the sauce and cover. Simmer on low until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny. About 3minutes.
