Shakshuka

Poached eggs in tomato sauce. You can add spinach and/or different spices -- I used cumin, cinnamon, and garlic powder. I think the pinch of sugar would work well. You can add diced tomatoes too. Here's one recipe I found, but there are others.

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 medium brown or white onion, peeled and diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 medium green or red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cups ripe diced tomatoes, or 2 cans (14 oz. each) diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp chili powder (mild)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (or more to taste-- spicy!)
  • Pinch of sugar (optional, to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 5-6 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Saute onions in olive oil with garlic. Add pepper, if desired, and tomatoes or tomato sauce and spices. Add a handful of spinach if desired. Let simmer a few minutes, than add eggs. Let cook until desired doneness. If you like the eggs runny, don't overdo. You can serve over couscous, rice, or toast.
