Ingredients
To recreate this savory delight at home, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 6 large eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Now that you’ve gathered all your ingredients, let’s get cooking!
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly, make little wells in the tomatoes and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and feta cheese, if desired.
- Serve the Shakshuka directly from the skillet with some warm bread on the side to soak up that delicious sauce!
