Shakshuka is a popular Middle Eastern dish that consists of eggs poached in a flavorful tomato sauce made with spices and vegetables. It is often served with bread or pita for dipping, and can be made with various protein options such as ground meat, sausage, or tofu. To make a simple shakshuka recipe, you will need:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 4 large eggs
• Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili flakes (if using) and cook for an additional minute.
3. Add the canned tomatoes to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes, until it has thickened slightly.
4. Crack the eggs into the skillet, making sure to space them out evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with bread or pita for dipping. Enjoy!
