Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 4 large eggs
  • to taste salt and black pepper

Herbed Feta

  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped

Instructions

  1. 1 Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
  3. 3 Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4 Stir in the drained chickpeas and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Create small wells in the sauce using a spoon and carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. 6 In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta, chopped parsley, and chopped mint. Mix gently to combine.
  7. 7 Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the herbed feta over the shakshuka.
  8. 8 Serve the shakshuka hot with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
