Breakfast Recipes: Shakshouka

This post is part of our breakfast recipe series from Jill of a Better Happier St. Sebastian.

Shakshouka
serves 2 generously

1 tbs olive oil
1 large white onion, diced
2 frying peppers, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed by hand
2 tbs tomato paste
1/2 tbs smoked paprika
salt and pepper to taste
4 eggs
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley for serving

In a large cast iron skillet or high walled fry pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Sauté onions and peppers until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to coat onions and peppers. Let mixture cook until it begins to caramelize, an additional 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Add tomatoes, smoked paprika, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and cook until sauce reduces, about 15 minutes.

After sauce has reduced, using a medium spoon make 4 wells and crack eggs into holes. Cook for 2 minutes uncovered followed by 5 minutes covered, or until desired done-ness is reached. Remove from heat and top with feta and parsley. Shakshouka is best served with thin slices of grilled bread or pita.
