How to Make Shakshuka

  1. Score an 'X' on the bottom of each tomato. Blanch tomatoes in a saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer to an ice bath.
  2. Once cool, easily peel off the skins.
  3. Puree 2 lbs of peeled tomatoes in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until golden brown (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour to the skillet and stir constantly for 1 minute until lightly browned.
  6. Pour in the pureed tomatoes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  8. Gently create wells in the tomato sauce and carefully pour the egg mixture into the wells.
  9. Cover the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Do not stir.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (optional) and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
