Shakshuka

A hearty one-pan meal featuring tender eggs poached in a robust mix of tomatoes, peppers, and spices. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the diced potato and cook for about 5 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, juice included, and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
  6. Create small wells in the mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet, allowing the eggs to poach to your liking—around 5-7 minutes for runny yolks.
  8. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving hot.

Notes

For an even creamier texture, use medium or large eggs. Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
