Classic Equatoguinean Pan-Fried Eggs Stew

Assemble the ingredients: eggs, stock, butter, bay leaf, olive oil, onion, cinnamon.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the eggs and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Equatoguinean flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Equatoguinean accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
