How to Make Israeli Shakshuka

  1. Finely chop the onion and garlic.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or spices to your liking.
  7. Create six wells in the sauce using the back of a spoon.
  8. Crack one egg into each well.
  9. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C).
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  11. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of paprika before serving. Enjoy with warm pita bread or crusty bread for dipping!
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
