Paprika Tomatoes With Poached Eggs (Shakshouka) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
3 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 large poblano chile, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 lbs roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise
4 large eggs
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Put coriander, cumin, paprika, and salt in a mortar and pound until crushed; or seal in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Add garlic and pound into a paste. Set aside.
Cook chile in 1 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch frying pan over medium heat, stirring often, until well browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spice mixture and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in 3/4 cup water, then tomatoes. Cook, turning tomatoes occasionally, until softened, 10 to 20 minutes; add more water (1/4 cup at a time) if mixture starts to get dry (you should see juices).
Make 4 depressions in tomato mixture with a wooden spoon and crack an egg into each. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until eggs are set, but yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes.
Drizzle the shakshouka with 1 tablespoons oil (or more if you like), then scoop onto plates and serve with crusty bread.
