angry eggs aka harissa~tomato and eggs

 

I've mentioned a few times a wonderful breakfast that tina introduced us too.. tina's tomatoes and eggs .. we love it.. but recently i've been hearing about this moroccan paste called harissa that is spicy, tomatoey but ohh so flavorful..

 

i thought ohh that would be soo good in tomatoes and eggs.. add just another depth of flavor..

 

i couldn't find it  anywhere so i ordered it off amazon (for the record i think amazon is the most amazing thing on the internet.. just saying..) let me tell you this paste is so freaking good.. pete was eating this dish and at first said it's not spicy then it creeps up on you and hits you in back of your throat.. which is how this dish got it's name.. pete called them angry eggs!! angry or not.. it's good.. i can't wait to try harissa in other recipes.. if you have any suggestions give me a shout!
