Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4-6 large eggs
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Make wells in the tomato sauce and crack an egg into each well.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a broiler for a few minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier shakshuka, add more cayenne pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can add other vegetables like zucchini or spinach.
  • Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
