How To Make shakshuka
-
Step 1Heat oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Add the first 8 ingredients (onion through red pepper). Season with salt and pepper. Saute until the veggies have softened somewhat, about 3-4 minutes. -
Step 2Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Let it come to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
-
Step 3Cover and let cook for about 15 minutes. Remove the lid and allow some of the liquid to cook off. The sauce will thicken a little bit. Adjust seasoning.
-
Step 4Make 6 little wells in the sauce, spacing them out evenly. Crack an egg into each well.
-
Step 5Cover the pan and cook, at a simmer, until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.
-
Step 6Meanwhile, combine the parsley and mint in a small bowl.
-
Step 7When ready to serve, spoon each individual serving into a shallow bowl. Sprinkle the fresh herb mixture over the top. Serve with warm pita or crusty baguette slices.
