Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper is slightly softened.
-
Add the ground cumin, paprika, and chili powder if using, stirring well to combine and allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute.
-
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
-
Using a spoon, make wells in the tomato sauce and carefully crack the eggs one by one into each well, being careful not to break the yolks. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and sauce, and continue to cook for another minute until the cheese slightly melts.
-
Serve the Shakshuka over cooked couscous, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
