Quick Shakshuka

Wake up your taste buds with a vibrant shakshuka! This Middle Eastern classic features eggs gently poached in a rich, spiced tomato and bell pepper sauce. Infused with garlic, cumin, and paprika, it's a hearty and flavorful dish perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Serve it straight from the skillet with warm crusty bread to soak up every delicious bite.

Servings: 4

Cook Time: 35 Minutes

Ingredients

 

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and diced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Pinch cayenne pepper, optional
  • 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 3 to 5 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Microgreens, for garnish, optional

Directions

  1. Heat the oil over medium heat in a Swiss Diamond 12.5-inch nonstick frypan with lid. Add the onion, red pepper, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne, if using. Stir and let cook for about 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes and harissa paste. Simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
  3. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Use the back of a spoon to make 3 to 5 wells in the sauce. Crack in the eggs. Cover and cook until the eggs are set, 5 to 8 minutes. The timing will depend on how runny you like your egg yolks.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with the feta, parsley, avocado, and microgreens, if using. Serve with toasted bread for scooping.
