 Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons  
  • Large Onion: 1 diced  
  • Large Red Bell Pepper: 1 diced  
  • Garlic Cloves: three minced  
  • Fresh Tomatoes: three chopped    
  • Red chilli Powder: 1 teaspoon  
  • Ground Cumin: ½ teaspoon  
  • Chili Powder or Red Pepper Flakes: ¼ teaspoon  
  • Salt: To taste  
  • Large Eggs: 6  
  • Fresh Cilantro or Parsley: A handful chopped (for garnish)

 Instructions:

  1. Sauté the Base:  
    • In a huge deep skillet  heat the olive oil over medium warmth. 
    • Add the diced onion and sauté until it softens and begins to show translucent about 4–5minutes.
  2. Build the Flavor:  
    • Toss within the red bell pepper and minced garlic. 
    • Continue to cook for another 2–3 mins until they emerge as fragrant and soft. 
    • Sprinkle within the paprika, ground cumin and chili powder  in conjunction with a dash of salt stirring to coat the veggies .
  3. Form the Tomato Sauce:  
    • Add the chopped tomatoes  to the skillet.  Let the aggregate simmer on medium-low heat permitting the tomatoes to break down and meld with the spices. 
    • Simmer lightly for about 10 mins or until a rich chunky sauce forms. Taste and regulate salt as wanted.
  4. Poach the Eggs:  
    • Create small wells within the sauce using the  spoon. Gently crack one egg into each properly being cautious now not to break the yolks. 
    • Cover the skillet with a lid and permit the eggs to poach in the simmering sauce for 5–7 mins. The best end result is ready egg whites with delightfully runny yolks.
  5. Garnish & Serve:  
    • Once the eggs reach your desired degree of doneness ,remove the skillet from warmth. Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro or parsley over the top. 
    • Serve your Egg Shakshuka warm with any  bread or maybe a side of rice to take in all the savory tomato sauce.

 Tips & Variations:

  • Smoky Twist: Use smoked paprika rather than everyday paprika to feature an alluring smoky depth.  
  • Extra Veggies: For a nutritional increase stir in a handful of spinach or add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a tangy finish.  
  • Baking Option: If you opt for a uniformly set dish preheat your oven to 375°F and switch the covered skillet to the oven for 8–10 minutes after adding the eggs.
This Egg Shakshuka recipe combines simplicity with sophistication0a really perfect dish to brighten up any meal.
