Dice the tomatoes and set aside. Dice the bell peppers. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a pan. Add the bell peppers and sauté. Finely chop the shallots and add them. Briefly fry everything together, briefly fry in the tomato paste, and deglaze with red wine. Add the spices and simmer for about a minute. Now add the tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes. Using a spatula, make four wells in the tomato sauce for the eggs. Crack the eggs into the wells, season, and simmer with the lid closed for about 5 minutes (until the eggs reach the desired consistency). Serve on plates and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
