Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
2 green peppers (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper
6 medium tomatoes, (chopped (about 6 cups chopped tomatoes))
1/2 cup tomato sauce
6 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
  • Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
  • Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 small bunch cilantro, leaves and tender stems separated, chopped
2 small cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Pinch red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
4 large eggs
Warm pita bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cilantro stems, garlic, cumin, paprika and red pepper flakes; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is softened and the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir the tomatoes with their juices into the skillet. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Use the back of a spoon to make 4 wells in the sauce, 1 to 2 inches apart. Crack an egg into each well. Run the edge of a rubber spatula through the egg whites to break them slightly, being careful not to break the yolks (this allows the egg whites to cook faster). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve with pita bread.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds fresh tomatoes, unpeeled and cut in quarters, or one 28-ounce can tomatoes
6 cloves garlic, roughly diced
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Place the tomatoes, garlic, salt, paprika, tomato paste, and vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, over low heat until thick, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 2. Ladle the tomato sauce into a greased 12-inch frying pan. Bring to a simmer and break the eggs over the tomatoes. Gently break the yolks with a fork. Cover and continue to cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the eggs are set. Bring the frying pan directly to the table. Set it on a trivet and spoon out the shakshuka.

Tips:

  • Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your shakshuka will be.
  • Choose your spices wisely: The right spices can make all the difference in your shakshuka. Experiment with different combinations to find one that you love.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the shakshuka, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the eggs from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the eggs until they're set: The eggs in shakshuka should be cooked until they're set, but not overcooked. Otherwise, they'll become rubbery.
  • Serve with pita bread or rice: Shakshuka is traditionally served with pita bread or rice. This allows you to soak up all of the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Shakshuka is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a shakshuka recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting meal to try, give shakshuka a try.
