Ingredients
  • Ingredients for shakshuka:
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large red, orange, or yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, with juices
  • ½ cup crumbled feta
  • 6 large eggs
  • Optional ingredients for serving:
  • Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
  • Avocado, thinly sliced
  • Baguette, thinly sliced and toasted
Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium heat. Add in the sliced bell pepper, onion, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes, until bell pepper is softened and onion is slightly translucent.
  2. Add in the zucchini. Cook 5 minutes.
  3. Add in garlic and spices. Stir vegetables until they are thoroughly coated in spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the can of whole tomatoes with juices. Gently break up tomatoes with a wooden spoon. Let sauce simmer for 10 minutes, until it has slightly darkened in color and tomatoes have broken down. To deepen the flavor, you may continue simmering for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in feta cheese.
  6. Next, create 6 “nests” or “wells” for the eggs in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 5-8 minutes (until eggs have reached desired consistency).
  7. Garnish with cilantro, parsley, avocado, and additional feta, if desired. Serve with toasted baguette slices, if desired.
