Ingredients
  

For the Shakshuka
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 14 oz crushed tomatoes 1 can
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Frying Pan
  • Wooden Spoon or Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Lid for the Skillet

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are softened and the onion is translucent.
  2. Step 2: Next, stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and paprika. Continue to cook for an additional minute until the mixture is fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: Once the sauce has thickened, create small wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon. Carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
  5. Step 5: After the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the top.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving. Serve warm with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
