Breakfast


4 to 5 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 medium yellow onions, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons harissa, plus more to taste (different brands vary in spiciness)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
One-and-a-half 28-ounce cans chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
8 large eggs
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
A handful of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, harissa, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, another good pinch of salt and a few turns of black pepper. Cook until it's all dreamy-smelly, another 2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, followed by the chopped tomatoes and sugar, and simmer until slightly thickened, 10 minutes more. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings.
Make 8 little wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Simmer until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-10 minutes. (You can either baste the eggs with sauce during cooking or just let them be in a sunny-side-up situation.) Off the heat, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper. Scatter the feta and parsley over all.
