    Meanwhile, grate the tomatoes using the coarsest grater you have. Add the tomatoes, peppers, paprika and mix well.

  3. 3

    Season to taste. Cover and simmer on a very low heat for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, break the eggs on to the surface of the tomato mixture.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook for 4 minutes or until the eggs are done to your liking. Some cooks like to break the egg yolks and swirl them into the tomatoes.
