Ingredients

  • 1 kg minced beef
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 chopped medium onion
  • 2 chopped tomato
  • 1 tbs. Salt
  • 1 cinnamon stick or tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbs Libyan hararat 10 spice mix, you can substitute with 8 spice mix
  • 1 tbs chili flakes optional
  • 1 tbs chicken boullian
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch of cinnamon powder for garnish
  • 1 cup chopped Parsley save a 2 tbs for garnish
  • 2-3 eggs

Instructions

  • In a saucepan on low-medium heat , add your oil, sauté your onion and garlic. Add your minced beef, all of the spices and parsley.
  • Add your tomatoes and a cup of water cover and allow to cook for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring (if the water evaporates feel free to add an additional 1/2 cup). The longer you allow the meat to simmer then tender it becomes and more flavour is released.
  • Remove the cover, move the meat aside creating a crevasse, crack the eggs in each hole you’ve made and cover. Turn heat down lower. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Remove cover, sprinkle cinnamon powder and parsley. Traditionally we eat this meal with fresh bread.
