How to Make Shakshouka Eggs In Tomato And Pepper Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet or heavy frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 5 minutes, until softened but not browned.
  3. Add 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, cover, and cook for 8 minutes, until tender.
  4. Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Make indentations in the sauce and carefully crack 4 large eggs into each well.
  6. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Baste occasionally with the sauce.
  7. If you prefer scrambled eggs, gently stir the eggs with a fork before covering.
  8. Garnish with 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  9. Serve immediately with warm pita bread or crusty bread for dipping.
