Shakshuka

Greetings all!

Do you have days when you open your full refrigerator and have no idea what to cook? During one of those moments, I recalled an easy, delicious, and very satisfying dish – Shakshuka! – popular in the Middle East and some parts of North Africa. 

Image and recipe idea from 

You really need just 2 ingredients: a chunky tomato sauce and eggs but, of course, different spices and other veggies will only enhance the dish! 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • Canned or fresh chopped tomatoes 
  • Optional veggies: chopped onion, green bell peppers, and minced garlic cloves 
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • Optional spices: coriander, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • Parsley (or mint) for garnish
  • Feta cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  • Saute tomatoes in oil for 10 min. If using other veggies, add tomatoes last
  • Make holes in the sauce with spatula or spoon
  • Add eggs and simmer
  • Garnish with parsley and feta cheese

Bon Appetit! Let me know how you like it!
