Moroccan Mess

MOROCCAN MESS

(This is a picture I stole off the internet.  The dish looks basically like this. LOL. I forgot to take a picture.)

My friend Maryam is a Moroccan American.  She came over one day and made a tomato and egg recipe that her Moroccan  family members had made for her.  It was good but I saw a lot of potential to make it fantastic so the next time I made it I change a couple things... then a couple more... then a couple more.  This is 'Moroccan Mess'.

INGREDIENTS 

eggs

a bunch of tomatoes (how many depends on how much mess you are making. You need to fill the pan, probably 6 or 7 medium sized ones at minimal)

garlic, minced

cumin
