Tuscan Shakshuka Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Base

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Garlic and Peppers

   Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened.

3. 3

   Cook the Sausage

   Add the Calabrese sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Tomatoes and Spices

   Pour in the crushed tomatoes along with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Poach the Eggs

   Gently crack the eggs into the sauce, spacing them evenly. Cover the skillet and let the eggs poach until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-6 minutes.

6. 6

   Add Fresh Basil and Cheese

   Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.

7. 7

   Prepare Crostini

   While the shakshuka is cooking, slice a baguette, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven until golden brown. Serve alongside the shakshuka.
