Moroccan Poached Eggs

MOROCCAN POACHED EGGS

A simple and delicious dish of poached eggs and deliciously spiced tomato and onion sauce. Ras El Hanout is a spice common to North African and Middle Eastern dishes. The name is Arabic for “head of the shop” and implies a mixture of the best spices the seller has to offer.
