Ingredients
  

  • A large bunch of fresh spinach or 450 g frozen spinach
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • Harissa or dried chili flakes to taste
  • 2 chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 potatoes cut to cubes and fried
  • Salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp Olive oil
  • Eggs quantity depends on servings

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Spinach: Chop the spinach into small portions. Heat a little oil in a large pan and add the spinach in batches, covering the pan as you go. Continue chopping and adding spinach until all of it is in the pan.
  • Cook the Spinach: Once the spinach has wilted and reduced, stir in crushed garlic, salt, and black pepper.
  • Add Flavor: Top the spinach with dried chili peppers, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste diluted in a bit of water.
  • Combine the Ingredients: When the spinach is nearly cooked, stir in fried potato cubes. Add a little water if needed to maintain a saucy consistency.
  • Cook the Eggs: Make small wells in the spinach mixture and crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover the pan and let the eggs cook over medium heat until set to your preference.
  • Serve: Enjoy immediately with freshly baked homemade bread for a hearty, satisfying meal.
