Cut the red pepper and cook it together with the onion for five to seven minutes.
Add the tomato concentrate, tomato sauce, and spices to the pan. Stir and let simmer for 15 minutes on a low fire.

When the water in the sauce has almost entirely evaporated, make open spaces in the sauce with a spoon and fill each space with one whole egg being careful not to break the yolk.
