STEPS

1

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; season with salt. Cook and stir until mushrooms release all of their liquid and start to brown.

2

Add bell pepper and jalapeño pepper. Cook and stir until peppers begin to soften. Season with cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook and stir to blend the flavors.

3

Stir in tomatoes and water. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and sweet. Add more water if sauce becomes too thick.

4

Use a large spoon to make a depression in sauce for each egg. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and slide gently into an indentation; repeat with remaining eggs. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until eggs reach desired doneness.

5

Top with feta cheese and parsley to serve.
