Equipment

  • 12-inch cast-iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons ras el hanout store bought or homemade
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 cup saison beer
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4-6 eggs
  • Cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Add lamb, onion and red pepper and cook until lamb is browned and vegetables are softened, about five minutes.
  • Add tomato paste, ras el hanout, garlic and ginger. Cook for a minute or two to toast spices, stirring frequently. Don’t let burn. Reduce heat if needed.
  • Add saison and let reduce until about ¼ cup is left. Add crushed tomatoes and salt. Bring to simmer for about five minutes.
  • Remove from heat and use a spoon to create wells in the sauce. Crack eggs into the wells. Bake in oven for 8-13 minutes, depending on how you want your eggs cooked. Keep an eye on eggs frequently to ensure they don’t overcook.
  • Remove from oven when eggs are cooked to your liking and top with cilantro.
