Instructions

1. Insert Metal Chopping Blade. Add 1 small onion, 1 red bell pepper, 1 deseeded jalapeño, each cut into 1-inch pieces and 2 garlic cloves into the work bowl. Secure Cooking Lid.
2. Pulse to roughly chop, about 8 to 10 pulses.
3. Replace the Metal Chopping Blade with Stirring Paddle. Scrape down the sides of the work bowl and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Secure the Cooking Lid with Steam Cap removed.
4. The cooking time is set for 10 minutes at 285°F on Speed 2.
5. Add one can (28-ounces) diced plum tomatoes, ½ teaspoon each salt, cumin, paprika and sumac with ¼ teaspoon pepper. Secure Cooking Lid with Steam Cap in place.
6. The cooking time is set for 15 minutes at 250°F on speed 2.
7. Remove the Cooking Lid and the Stirring Paddle. Make 4 indentations in the sauce with a large spoon; crack each egg and gently put one egg into each indentation.
8. Secure the Cooking Lid. The cooking time is set for 9 minutes at 220°F with no speed for a runny egg. More time can be added if preferred.
9. The eggs should be just set (egg whites should look opaque). Sprinkle ½ cup crumbled feta and torn fresh herbs (mix of cilantro, mint and parsley).
10. Serve immediately with crusty bread or warm pita.
