Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 120 ml
  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 head garlic
  • 4 large eggs
  • sea salt & black pepper

FOR THE GARLIC SAUCE

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley 5 grams
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 30 ml
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the onions, cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized pieces, separate the cloves from the head of garlic, and cut a slit on each one (leaving the skins on)

  2. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

  3. After a couple of minutes, add in the chopped onions, bell peppers, and cloves of garlic, mix together, then mix every 2 to 3 minutes so everything evenly sautés

  4. After 12 to 15 minutes and the vegetables are lightly browned, season with salt & pepper, mix together, and then transfer the vegetables into a large serving dish

  5. Heat the same fry pan with a medium heat, and add in 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil

  6. After a couple of minutes, crack in the eggs, all in a single layer and evenly spaced out, and fry to your liking, I like a slightly crispy egg white with a creamy yolk, once fried, season with salt & pepper, and add the egg over the vegetables

  7. To make the garlic sauce, add the chopped garlic into a mortar, along with the chopped parsley and a pinch of salt, using a pestle, pound down on the ingredients until you get a paste-like texture, then add in olive oil and mix together

  8. Add the garlic sauce over the eggs and serve, enjoy!
