Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 Bell Pepper diced
  • 1 can Crushed Tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 4 Eggs
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large oven-safe skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, then add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Create four small wells in the tomato sauce and crack one egg into each well; cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  5. Serve the shakshuka immediately with warm crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of paprika or cumin to the tomato sauce. You can also garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
