Easy shakshuka made with eggs that are gently poached in a simmering mixture of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic. A few warm spices and some fresh herbs complete this satisfying one-skillet dish!
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves (about 0.2 ounces or 5 grams)
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves (about 0.2 ounces or 5 grams)
METHOD:
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or “wells,” in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
