Instructions
1
Prep
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Measure out the cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and paprika into a small bowl.
2
Sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add garlic and spices; cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until browned with no pink remaining.
4
Stir in the crushed tomato and simmer over medium-low heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the meat; season with salt and pepper. Push the meat to one side, crack the eggs into the cleared space, and fry over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain soft.
5
Plate
Slide the eggs and spiced meat onto a plate, scatter with parsley, squeeze over the lemon juice, and serve.
