Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Merguez or tuna (optional)
  • Garlic
  • Bell pepper (optional)
  • Olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, cumin
Method

1
The base. Heat a little olive oil in a pan, then sauté the sliced garlic.
2
The tomato sauce. Add a spoonful of Sabra Harissa, a hint of Sabra Hrous, a spoonful of Sabra Tomato Paste and Sabra Crushed Tomatoes. Mix well.
3
Baking. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the merguez or tuna if desired.
