For the Shakshuka
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For sautéing the vegetables and adding flavor.
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced Adds sweetness and vibrant color.
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin A warm spice that enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika Adds depth and a hint of smokiness.
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 14 ounces
  • 4 large eggs The poached eggs are the highlight of the dish.
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese For tangy creaminess.
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Cover for the Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
  2. Step 2: Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant, stirring frequently.
  3. Step 3: Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Create small wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  5. Step 5: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve immediately while warm.
