Shakshuka

The Shakshukah is a refreshing way to prepare eggs. It’s a tasty blend of vegetables and spices, and I usually eat this on Sunday mornings together with pita bread. I have eaten this in many different places, and each time with a slight variation to the flavor. My favorite recipe is the one that includes red peppers and you’ll soon understand why.

You’ll need:

Serves 4

One onion

4 cloves of garlic

One red bell pepper

8 ripe tomatoes

4 eggs

Two tbsp. olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

One tsp. paprika

How to:

Heat the olive oil in a medium sized frying pan over medium heat, and add the crushed garlic and chopped onion. Sauté them until golden brown, and then add the thinly sliced red pepper and tomatoes, and cut into quarters. Add the salt, pepper, and paprika and continue to sauté uncovered until the liquid reduces for about 30 minutes. Place the eggs whole, one at a time inside the pan, and season each egg with a little bit of salt and pepper. Cook until eggs firm up for another 7 minutes and serve immediately. I suggest some fresh pita or good rustic bread served with this dish.
