Shakshuka comes from North Africa and is now loved by kitchens across the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Eggs are poached directly in a thick tomato sauce scented with cumin, paprika, and garlic. This simple one-pan dish suits breakfast or a light dinner. It is served straight from the pan with fresh bread or warm pita for dipping into the golden yolks.

Step by step process

Preparing the Vegetables

1
Shakshuka starts with the vegetables. Slice the onion into half-rings, dice the red pepper and mince the garlic. Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 4 to 5 minutes until golden. Then stir in the pepper and saute for another 3 minutes.

Tomato Sauce with Spices

2
Add the garlic and tomato paste and saute for one minute. Stir in the ground cumin, sweet and hot paprika, and salt. Add the peeled tomatoes with their juice and mash them with a spoon. Simmer over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Poaching the Eggs

3
Make four wells in the sauce with a spoon and gently crack one egg into each. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks stay soft. Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve straight from the pan with bread or pita.
