Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (8 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped
3 tablespoons Hunt's® Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder

1 teaspoon Spanish paprika
2 (14.5 ounce) cans Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes, undrained
½ cup water
salt and pepper to taste
6 eggs, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Saute onions until translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.

Saute for another minute or so until well combined.
  • Stir in Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes and water. Season with salt and pepper. Raise heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes.

Tips for a Perfect Mexican Shakshuka:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible, especially the tomatoes and eggs. Fresh produce will give your shakshuka the best flavor and texture.
  • Spice It Up: Don't be afraid to add some heat to your shakshuka. A little bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper can go a long way. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers for an extra kick.
  • Don't Overcook the Eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but still have a slightly runny yolk. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with Toppings: Shakshuka is traditionally served with pita bread or tortillas, but you can also serve it with rice or quinoa. Top it with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, avocado, or cilantro.

Conclusion:

Mexican shakshuka is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant flavors and beautiful presentation, Mexican shakshuka is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
