1

Prepare the ingredients

Gather all the necessary ingredients for your sensational Shakshuka. You will need: eggs, olive oil, onion, garlic, bell pepper, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish.

2

Sauté the onion and bell pepper

Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until they become tender and slightly caramelized. This will add a hint of sweetness to your dish!

3

Add the garlic and spices

Once the onion and bell pepper are cooked, add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and let the spices bloom for a minute or two, releasing their tantalizing aroma.

4

Simmer the tomato sauce

Pour in the canned tomatoes (crushed or diced), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This will give the flavors a chance to meld and create a luscious base for your eggs.

5

Poach the eggs

Create little wells in the tomato sauce and carefully crack the eggs into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs gently poach in the sauce for 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. This is the secret to achieving that perfect oozy goodness!

6

Garnish and serve

Sprinkle your hot and steamy Shakshuka with fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, to add a burst of freshness. Serve it straight from the skillet with crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping. Get ready to dive into an explosion of flavors!
