For the Shakshuka

For the Pita Bread

Method

Preparation of Shakshuka

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs

    Using a spoon, create small wells in the tomato mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 5-8 minutes for runny yolks.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for freshness.

Preparation of Pita Bread

  1. 6

    Warm the Pita

    While the shakshuka is cooking, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until soft and pliable.
