Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Shakshuka:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, diced (any color)
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes (or 6 fresh tomatoes, chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

For the Avocado Salad:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start the Shakshuka: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant.
  3. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juices). Add cumin, paprika, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Create 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, until eggs are done to your liking.
  5. Top with Feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top. Let it warm through for 1–2 minutes.
  6. Make the Avocado Salad: In a small bowl, mash the avocados. Stir in lime juice, chopped red onion, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  7. Serve: Spoon the shakshuka into plates or shallow bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve with a generous scoop of avocado salad on the side.

Notes

  • For runnier eggs, cook for less time after cracking them in.
  • Serve with crusty bread or warm pita for dipping.
  • You can prep the tomato base in advance for a quicker meal next time.
