Hello food lovers! Today, I’m sharing with you the best Shakshuka recipe that will make your weekends even more delicious. Shakshuka is a popular Middle Eastern dish that combines eggs poached in a flavourful tomato sauce, and it’s not only easy to make but also packed with flavour.
Let’s get started with the ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional, for an extra kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
Now, here’s how to make this mouthwatering Shakshuka:
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the red and green peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
- Add the tomatoes, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) and stir well. Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it thickens and the flavours blend together.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Make four small indentations in the sauce and crack an egg into each one. Cover the pan and cook the eggs to your desired doneness, usually 5-10 minutes for runny yolks.
- Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, on top and serve the Shakshuka with crusty bread or toast.
