Classic Shakshuka with Crumbled Feta and Fresh Herbs
Discover the vibrant flavors of this traditional North African and Middle Eastern breakfast or brunch staple. Poached eggs nestle in a robust, spiced tomato sauce, creating a satisfying one-pan meal that's both simple to prepare and bursting with taste. It's an ideal dish for a leisurely weekend morning or a comforting weeknight dinner.
Let's cook.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes (undrained), 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Create four small wells in the tomato sauce using the back of a spoon. Carefully crack one large egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley over the shakshuka.
Serve immediately, directly from the skillet, with crusty bread for dipping if desired.
