👨‍🍳 Method

For the Fried onion

  1. 1
    Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveFrying pan
  2. 2
    Add the onion and fry 5–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onion is soft and translucent and starts to turn golden at the edges. If it browns too fast, lower the heat.
    ⚙ Adding to the hot fat and fryingStove
    💡Add by cooking time: what needs long (onion, carrot, meat) goes in first, and what burns fast (garlic, dry spices) goes in last, only until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the pepper and fry about 3 minutes, stirring, until it softens.

    💡Low heat and patience: eggs that cook slowly stay in soft, creamy curds, while over high heat they dry out and weep water.
  5. 8
    Take off the heat: the eggs keep setting in the heat of the pan.
  6. 9
    Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve immediately with bread.
