Tomato stew with eggs

Tomato stew with eggs

Tomato stew with egg is a traditional dish in north of Iran. I have learned this delicious stew from my mom. The taste of this stew is amazing. I love the fresh garlic and the juicy tomato sauce which is very aromatic. This dish is originally served with rice but I have also tried it with croutons and it was unbelievably delicious. I would like to suggest this this to everyone specially all my vegetarian friends.
