Instructions

1. Roughly chop the onions, cut the bell peppers into small bite-sized pieces, separate the garlic cloves from the head and slit each one, leaving the skins on.
2. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil.
3. After a couple of minutes, add the onions, peppers and garlic cloves and stir. Stir every 2 to 3 minutes so everything sautés evenly.
4. After 12 to 15 minutes, when the vegetables are lightly browned, season with salt and pepper, stir, and transfer to a large serving dish.
5. Heat the same pan over medium heat and add 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil.
6. After a couple of minutes, crack the eggs into the pan in a single layer, evenly spaced, and fry to your liking.
7. Season the fried eggs with salt and pepper and place them over the vegetables.
8. To make the garlic sauce, pound the chopped garlic, parsley and a pinch of salt in a mortar with a pestle to a paste, then mix in the olive oil.
9. Spoon the garlic sauce over the eggs and serve.
