A warm and encouraging recipe for One-Pan Shakshuka, a flavorful Middle Eastern-inspired brunch dish featuring eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 large eggs
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Using the back of a spoon, create six wells in the tomato sauce.
  6. Carefully crack one egg into each well.
  7. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Alternatively, you can place the skillet under a preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
  9. Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
  • For a richer sauce, stir in a tablespoon of tomato paste with the crushed tomatoes.
  • You can add crumbled feta cheese or a dollop of Greek yogurt before serving.
