Ingredients

  • 5 ⅓ oz ground meat (beef or lamb) (150 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • 1 medium onion (sliced)
  • 1 chopped red chili or ½ teaspoon flaked chili
  • 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
  • ½ tablespoon tomato paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 medium eggs

Instructions

  • Place the ground meat to a pan over medium heat and break it up as it browns.
  • Add butter and sauté for 2 minutes, or skip the butter if your meat releases enough fat while browning.
  • When it's nearly cooked through, add the sliced onion and keep cooking until the onions have softened.
  • Stir in a diced tomato, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and your selected spices.
  • Add water and cook for a minute or two until the tomato becomes saucy.
  • Make small wells in the meat-pepper layer and crack the eggs into them.
  • Cover the pan and cook over low–medium heat until the eggs are set but still tender.
