½ bunch of parsley or cilantro...

4 eggs ...

225 g DODONI Halloumi...

salt & freshly ground pepper...

PREPARATION

Chop the vegetables for the sauce, gather the spices and the rest of the ingredients.

EXECUTION

Heat 4 tbsp olive oil in a big frying pan. Saute the onion and pepper in medium for 8-10 minutes until soft and sprinkle them with salt and freshly ground pepper. Add the cumin, paprika, cayenne, garlic and tomato paste and saute for 1-2 minutes, making sure that you scrape the pan’s bottom using a wooden spoon. 

Add the tomatoes and water and as soon as they come to a boil, lower the heat and let the sauce cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

When the sauce thickens, remove from heat (without turning it off), add half of the parsley or cilantro and stir. With a spoon make 4 puddles in the sauce and fill each one with an egg, making sure that the yolk stays intact. Return the pan on heat and cook the eggs in medium/low heat for 4-5 minutes, covered with the lid.

Cut the DODONI Halloumi into thick slices and heat a grill pan well. Grill the halloumi slices for 1 minute each side, then arrange them between the cooked eggs, sprinkle with the rest of the parsley (or cilantro) and serve warm.
