Shakshouka - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
    olive oil
    3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
    4 large free range eggs
    1 small sweet red pepper, deseeded and sliced finely
    6 medium tomatoes
    1 tablespoon sweet paprika
    sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
    Saute the onions and garlic until soft in about a tablespoons of olive oil, flavoured with a grind of black pepper. This will take about 8 minutes.
    Meanwhile, grate the tomatoes using the coarsest grater you have.
    Add the tomatoes, peppers, paprika and mix well.
    Season to taste
    Cover and simmer on a very low heat for 25 minutes.
    After 25 minutes, break the eggs on to the surface of the tomato mixture.
    Cover and cook for 4 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking.
    Some cooks like to break the egg yolks and swirl them into the tomatoes.
