Shakshuka

My dear friend Lynda turned me on to this amazing dish with an even better name: Shakshuka. Effectively eggs poached in a zesty tomato sauce and served with some crusty bread, this dish is simple but simply heavenly!!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 large can whole tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt & pepper
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 Cup crumbled feta
  • Fresh parsley (I only had dried)

Directions

  1. Sauté onion and garlic in oil with seasonings.
  2. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Crush tomatoes with potato masher. Allow to simmer until sauce thickens, around 20 minutes.
  3. Crack eggs onto sauce around the pan. Allow to cook 7 minutes, covering for last minute.
  4. Top with crumbled feta and parsley. Serve with spatula with a side of crusty bread. Enjoy!
