Preparation
Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the chopped onion and red pepper to the pan and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Step 4
Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, salt, cinnamon, hot pepper flakes, and freshly ground pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
Step 5
Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the tomato mixture for about 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
Step 7
Create small wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the shakshuka rest for a few minutes.
Step 9
Serve the shakshuka hot, directly from the pan, with crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping.
