Ingredients

To prepare Shakshuka, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 eggs
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create a perfect Shakshuka:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. This will serve as the base for sautéing the vegetables, helping to release their flavors.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for developing the depth of flavor in the dish.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute. The spices will bloom in the hot oil, infusing the dish with their aromatic essence.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and hearty sauce.
  5. Make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are set, about 5-7 minutes. This step requires a bit of attention to ensure the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. The fresh parsley adds a pop of color and a hint of freshness to the dish.
