Shakshuka
Makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can 28 oz diced tomatoes or whole tomatoes (roughly chopped), with the juices
- 4-6 large eggs
For garnish:
- fresh cilantro
- sliced avocado
- 4 oz feta cheese crumbled (optional) (i used violife dairy free feta)
- GF bread for serving
Instructions
- DirectionsHeat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and coriander and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and then cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly and flavors have come together.
- Using a spoon, create small indentations in the tomato mixture for the eggs.
- Crack the eggs, one at a time, into the wells. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet and let the shakshuka simmer gently over medium-low heat until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. For runny yolks, this typically takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle fresh cilantro, feta and avocado on top and enjoy with bread if desired!
