Ingredient

Cooking Instruction

Toast the coriander, caraway, and cumin in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Grind the spices in a spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Set aside.Saute the onion and pepper in olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent.Add the garlic and cook a few minutes more until the garlic is fragrant.Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, harissa, cayenne, and sausages. Bring to a simmer and simmer for a few minutes.You can either mix the eggs into the sauce or cook them whole on the surface for an attractive presentation. Both methods are used in Tunisia. I prefer leaving them whole with soft yolks. To do so, create four small indentations in the surface of the ojja with a large ladle. Crack an egg into each. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow to eggs to cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Garnish with parsley.

Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Step 2 Meanwhile, heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, swirling pan often, until just golden. Add red pepper flakes and continue cooking 15 more seconds. Add wine, then clams; increase heat to high. Cover skillet and cook until clams open and release their juices, 3-6 minutes, depending on size of clams. As clams open, use tongs to transfer them to a bowl.

Cook over high heat, tossing constantly, until pasta is al dente and has soaked up some of the sauce from the pan. Add clams and any juices from bowl to pan, along with parsley, and toss to combine.
