This North African way of preparing eggs has such a sophisticated flavor yet it's so simple to make. It's a well balanced meal with sweet peppers, tomatoes and poached eggs all in one pot. The sauce from the tomatoes and peppers envelope each egg leading to a nice perfectly poached egg in each pocket. You just need a lidded pan (and the food ingredients 😅) and you're set!
