Equipment

  • Large skillet with fitted lid

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
  • 1 Tbsp. curry powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes for heat (optional)
  • 1 28-oz. can diced tomatoes (or two 14.5-oz. cans)
  • 1 15-oz. can white beans (cannellini, garbanzo, or navy)
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk (sub heavy cream, evaporated milk, cashew cream, or silken tofu)
  • 5 large eggs
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, cilantro, dill, or chives)
  • Crusty bread for dipping or white rice for serving

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet with a fitted lid over medium. Add onion; cook 5 to 6 minutes, until softened.
  • Add garlic, curry powder, 3/4 tsp. salt, smoked paprika, black pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne/red pepper flakes (if using). Cook 2 minutes, stirring often, until aromatic.
  • Add diced tomatoes, beans, and coconut milk; stir to combine. Simmer mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 12 minutes.
  • Break each egg into a custard cup, and create five divots in the tomato mixture. Gently slide one egg into each divot, and season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Place lid on pan and cook 5 minutes, just until the whites are set and the yolks have filmed over.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with crusty bread or over rice.
