Heat the oil in a large frying pan.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for a few minutes until the onion begins to soften.
Add garlic and continue to sauté, then add the peppers and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat until softened.
Stir in the tomatoes, paprika and lemon and simmer for a further 5-7 minutes until it starts to reduce.
Make 4 evenly spaced wells in the tomato mixture and then crack one egg into each. Season well and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are firm and the yolks still runny.
