Ingredients

4 eggs
1 cup of rice
2 cups of water
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 teaspoon of cumin powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of chili powder (adjust according to preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

In a pot, cook the rice with water according to package instructions.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until they become translucent.
Add the red and green bell peppers to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until they become slightly tender.
Stir in the cumin powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to release their flavors.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a ramekin or small bowl.
Use a spoon to create a whirlpool in the simmering water and slowly pour the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a perfectly poached egg with a runny yolk.
Remove the poached egg from the water with a slotted spoon and place it on top of the spicy rice.
Repeat the process with the remaining eggs.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
