Ingredients

1 tbsp Oil
1 Onion finely diced
1 Bell Pepper finely diced
2 Garlic Cloves chopped
400 g Canned Tomatoes
1 tbsp Tomato Purée
1 tsp Salt
½ tsp Black Pepper
½ tsp Cumin Powder
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Cayenne Powder
4 Eggs

Instructions

In a large skillet pan heat up the olive oil on medium heat until hot
Add the finely diced onions and salt then cook for 3-4 minutes until the onions are slightly softened – adding the salt with the onions helps to bring the moisture out of the onion to allow them to cook down and brown more evenly without burning the onions
As the onions are cooking wash, peel and finely dice the red bell pepper and finely chop the garlic cloves then add the finely diced red bell pepper with the finely chopped garlic cloves into the pan before cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bell peppers soften
Add the tomato purée and cook for another 1-2 minutes
Add the canned tomatoes and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer before covering with a lid and cooking for 6-8 minutes on low-medium heat
Add the cumin powder, paprika, black pepper and cayenne powder then cookthe spices on medium heat for 4-6 minutes adding a few tablespoons of water toprevent the spices from burning
Reduce the heat to low then create 4 pockets in the mixtures and crack the eggs into a separate bowl before adding each egg into one of the pockets
Cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 minutes until the eggs are cooked through or done to your personal preference – alternatively it is possible to bake the skillet at the top of a preheated oven at 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5 to cook the egg whites quickly
Your egg shakshuka isready!
