Easy Shakshuka Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3/4 cup roasted red pepper (roughly chopped)
  • 1 jalapeņo (optional, diced and seeded)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  • 1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
  • 4-6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 1/4 cup Italian flat leaf parsley

 

Directions:

1.   Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2.   Add cherry tomatoes, olive oil, tomato sauce, chopped onion, peppers, jalapeņo (if using) to an oven safe baking dish. Sprinkle in garlic, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt and pepper and mix it together.

3.   Bake it in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tomatoes have burst. Remove the baking dish from the oven and mash the ingredients together until saucy.

4.   Crack the eggs, one at a time, directly over the tomato mixture, making sure to space them evenly over the sauce. Pop this back in the oven to let the eggs cook for a few minutes. You want the egg whites to be firm and the yolk to be runny!

5.   Top with chopped parsley and crumbled feta.

6.   Serve hot with warm pita bread, crostini or toast!
