Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 28 ounces canned whole tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 6 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the peppers have softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the canned whole tomatoes, including their juices. Break up the tomatoes using a spoon or spatula, and stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt and cracked black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to slightly thicken and blend the flavors together.

Step 6

Using a spoon, make six small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well.

Step 7

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the eggs are set to your liking.

Step 8

Remove from heat, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately, enjoying the shakshouka with a spoon or fork.
