Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the cumin seeds in a large ovenproof skillet for 45 seconds, then add the paprika, stir, and toast for about 20 seconds, just until the paprika becomes fragrant. Stir in the oil and tomato paste, then add the onions and peppers. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add the tomatoes, cayenne and bay leaf and simmer for 3-4 minutes.

Place the chickpeas, parsley (reserve one tablespoon for garnish) and lime juice in a small food processor or food chopper. Pulse a few times to chop, then add to the tomato sauce with 1/2 cup of water.
Stir to combine and remove the bay leaf.
Crack four eggs on top of the vegetables. Take care not to overlap the eggs.
Bake until the eggs are done to your preference. For soft to medium yolk, bake for 10 minutes; for a hard yolk, bake for 15.

Garnish with reserved parsley and hot sauce.

    My recipe with a few changes...and I adore having it for breakfast. I do not use the oven to "bake" the eggs; cover the skillet and simmer over very low heat for several minutes. Topping it with a few slices of avocado makes it sublime. - 3/3/12

    This was delicious and I like the baking option. Had to leave them in a little longer than 10 minutes 'cause the whites were not completely cooked. It took more like 15 minutes to get them where they needed to be. - 3/24/12

    looks like Shakshouka to me. you can do all this on a covered frying pan ontop of the stove, its a lot easier, i use fresh tomatoes in stead of a paste, you fry the chopped tomatoes with a little bit of oil and add water, it turns out much better - 5/29/12

    A runny egg yolk is delicious on beans. I cooked the eggs separately and placed them on top, less chance of overcooking them that way. - 3/2/20
