A delicious and nutritious shakshuka recipe with eggs, spices and healthy vegetables
Shakshuka is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines eggs, spices, and vegetables. Here's a simple recipe for making shakshuka with healthy vegetables:
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 4-6 eggs
- Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: feta cheese, crumbled (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
2. Add chopped onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Using a spoon, create small wells or indentations in the tomato mixture for each egg you'll be adding.
6. Crack each egg into a small bowl and then carefully pour one egg into each well you created in the tomato mixture.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks).
8. Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.
9. Garnish the shakshuka with chopped cilantro or parsley, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
10. Serve the shakshuka directly from the skillet, making sure to scoop out some of the tomato sauce and vegetables along with each egg.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy shakshuka with eggs, spices, and flavorful vegetables! You can serve it with crusty bread, pita, or on its own as a hearty breakfast, brunch, or dinner option.
