chachouka (from Morocco)

Ingredients

Peel and chop the onions. Peel the tomatoes and cut into cubes. Cut the ends off the egg plant, then cut the egg plant first into slices, then into cubes. Place these into a colander and sprinkle with salt. Cut the bell peppers into rings.
Fry the egg plant until soft. Add the tomatoes and bell pepper rings, then crush the garlic and add as well. Add the thyme and (if needed) more olive oil, then stir. Leave to simmer for 20 minutes. Add a dash of water from time to time, if necessary.
Preheat the grill in the oven.
Warm four oven-proof dishes, then spoon the vegetables into the dishes. With the back side of a spoon, make small dents into the vegetables. Carefully pour an egg into each dent, then place the dishes under the grill. Leave for 5 minutes, until the egg is hard.

Serving suggestionSprinkle with coriander and serve with Turkish or Moroccan bread, and a cucumber salad.
