This dish is budget friendly and made in less than 30′ with pantry items. And don’t judge on the picture, because a picture of a stew is rarely appealing :-D. It’s delicious!!! The runny egg melting in the tomato sauce is so flavorful.
Shopping list :
- If you’re SCD, you’ll need cooked red beans. If you’re not, you can use canned beans.
- canned tomatoes: these ones are absolutely divine, they’re italian! But quite pricey. For a budget-friendly option, those ones also do the job.
- onion
- garlic
- bell pepper
- eggs
- paprika, salt and peppercorn medley seasoning
- chipotle, Kashmiri or chili powder

Notes

I often fry additional eggs on the side for my kids who like to fill on meat-y proteins.
This recipe is really made to be eaten with eggs. You can eat it plain, but it’s way better with the egg yolk mixed into the tomato sauce.
