1 Red Pepper, Chopped
4 Cloves Garlic, Minced
3 tbsp. Tomato Paste
2 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Ground Coriander
1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
½ tsp. tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Cinnamon
¼ tsp. Hot Pepper Flakes
¼ tsp. Freshly Ground Pepper
1 can Tomatoes, Diced
8 Eggs
¼ cup Feta Cheese, Finely Crumbled
2 tbsp. Fresh Parsley, Chopped

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.
