Shakshuka, a traditional North African and Middle Eastern dish, has become a beloved breakfast (or brunch) staple worldwide. It’s a one-pan wonder that combines poached eggs in a rich, spiced tomato and bell pepper sauce. Not only is it bursting with flavor, but it’s also a visually stunning dish that’s perfect for impressing guests or simply treating yourself to a special morning meal.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• 1 (28-ounce can) whole peeled tomatoes
• 6 large eggs
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped bell pepper and onion and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent.
2. Add garlic and spices and cook for an additional minute.
3. Pour the can of tomatoes and juice into the pan and break down the tomatoes using a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a simmer.
4. Use your large spoon to make small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well. Cook the eggs for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking. You can also cover the pan with a lid to expedite the eggs cooking.
5. Garnish with chopped cilantro and parsley before serving.
