20 MINUTE SHAKSHUKA

I usually grocery shop on Saturdays or Sundays, which means by the time Thursday rolls around it’s slim pickins when it comes to what’s left in my fridge, and it ends up being like a master chef mystery box challenge every time I try to make dinner on Thursday. That is the beauty of Shakshuka 😍 not only does it require few ingredients that you probably already have in your fridge or pantry, but it looks like a dinner that took hours to make when it reality it took less than 20 minutes 😋 perfect for Sunday brunch or Thursday dinner, you gotta make this ASAP!

Ingredients:

For the Shakshuka:

• 1 onion sliced thinly

• 2 cloves of garlic minced

• 4 roma tomatoes chopped

• 1 can fire roasted chopped tomatoes

• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

• 1 tbsp harissa

• 2 tsp cumin

• 2 tsps coriander powder

• 2 tsps paprika

• 1-2 tsps cayenne pepper

• 2 tsps honey or sugar

• 2-4 tbsps olive oil

• Salt to taste

Instructions:

For the Shakshuka:

• Heat up a cast iron pan and drizzle in some olive oil.

• Slice onion thinly and spread into the pan once hot with a pinch of salt.

• Sauté on high stirring infrequently to develop those charred bits that will impart flavor.

• Once partially charred, reduce to a simmer and cook until caramelized.

• Meanwhile, chop up your roma tomatoes.

• Bring heat back up to high and throw chopped tomatoes in with some more salt.

• Add in apple cider vinegar to help break down the tomatoes.

• Once you start to see the tomatoes break down into a sauce, add in your can of fire roasted chopped tomatoes and harissa.

• Bring back up to a boil.

• Add in cumin, coriander powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.

• Add in honey or sugar.

• Reduce and simmer 5-10 minutes.

• Taste and salt if needed.

• Make 4 wells into the sauce and crack 1 egg into each well.

• Sprinkle a pinch of salt on each egg.

• Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.

• Top with feta cheese and some cilantro.

• Serve with pita bread or crusty bread and enjoy! 😋
