How to Make Tunisian Eggah With Sausages

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of diced potatoes and cook until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 tablespoon of harissa paste diluted in 2 tablespoons of water, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 dried red chilies (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon caraway seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of water, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add 8 ounces of spicy chorizo sausage (sliced or crumbled) and cook for a further 15 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Gradually pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring constantly with a spatula until the eggs are set but still creamy, about 5-7 minutes. The eggs should be cooked through but not dry.
  8. If desired, you can briefly broil the eggah for a few minutes to brown the top slightly.
  9. Remove from heat, and serve immediately.
