KEYWORD: shakshuka, Shakshuka recipe
SERVINGS: 6 servings
Ingredients
• 1 medium onion diced
• 1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
• 4 garlic cloves finely chopped
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
• 6 large eggs
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro chopped
• 1 small bunch fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
2. Add garlic and spices and cook an additional minute.
3. Pour the can of tomatoes and juice into the pan and break down the tomatoes using a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a simmer.
4. Use your large spoon to make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well. Cover the pan and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.
5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and parsley.
Notes
• Crumbled feta or goat cheese on top is delicious addition. Traditionally it’s also served with pita bread. I serve it also with baguette (best for dipping the sauce).
