Shakshuka Grits Recipe

Directions for Shakshuka Grits

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the delta grind grits, reduce the heat to low, and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are creamy. Season with salt and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Spiced Tomato Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Add the canned diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

   Poach the Eggs

   Using a spoon, create small wells in the sauce, then crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
