1

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice off the tops of four bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes from the inside. Place the bell peppers upright in a baking dish, ensuring they can stand on their own. Set aside.

2

Shakshuka filling

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add one diced onion, two minced garlic cloves, and one diced red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in one teaspoon of ground cumin, one teaspoon of smoked paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.

3

Tomato goodness

Pour in one can (14 oz) of diced tomatoes and their juices into the pan. Stir well to combine with the spices and vegetables. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Eggs and bake

Once the shakshuka filling is ready, carefully spoon it into the prepared bell peppers, filling them up to the top. Make a small well in the center of each filled bell pepper and crack an egg into it. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

5

Finishing touch

Remove the shakshuka stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, and sprinkle some crumbled feta cheese on top for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
