Method

Soften the onion and peppers in the oil, slowly, until sweet -- fifteen minutes, not five.
Add garlic and spices, one minute, then the tomatoes. Simmer hard until thick enough to hold a channel.
Make wells, crack in the eggs, cover and cook until the whites set and the yolks do not.
Sumac over the top. Bread, obviously.
