1

Prepare the base

In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté them until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, stirring occasionally.

2

Spice things up

Add minced garlic, chopped jalapeños, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Stir everything together and let the spices toast for a minute or two, releasing their aromatic flavors.

3

Create a saucy masterpiece

Pour in a can of crushed tomatoes, followed by tomato paste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a thick and flavorful sauce. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4

Simmer and poach

Using a spoon, create small wells in the tomato sauce and crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle some salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the eggs for an extra kick. Cover the skillet and let the eggs poach in the spicy sauce until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, around 5-7 minutes.

5

Bring on the feta

Crumble some tangy feta cheese on top of the Shakshuka. The creamy and salty feta will add a burst of flavor that balances out the spiciness. Cover the skillet again and let the feta slightly melt for a minute or two.

6

Garnish and serve

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or cilantro over the Shakshuka for a touch of freshness. Serve it straight from the skillet, sizzling hot and ready to be devoured! Don't forget some crusty bread for dipping!
