ABOUT THE DISH<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t

In the many ways eggs are so versatile, shakshuka is one example of a breakfast-to-dinner vegetarian alternative. This dish is rooted in North African countries like Libya, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, but is also commonly known in parts of the Middle East, especially Israel. There are a few discrepancies between the two; shakshuka from North Africa may include harissa paste, which is a base of oil, chiles, garlic, and warmer earthy spices, like cumin, carraway, and coriander. Using fresh chiles and dried spices gives you a little more control over preparation as well.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Olive Oil:<\/strong>\u00a0Without a doubt, use the best olive oil you can get your hands on. If you want to lean into ingredients from North African or the Middle East, purchase extra-virgin olive oil from those regions. The brand Mina is a good example of a single-origin Moroccan oil.<\/p>

Ground Cumin:<\/strong>\u00a0This is one of the important spices for this recipe. Cumin is powerful in taste and fragrance. It contributes heavily to the undertones in this dish. Feel free to use cumin seeds and grind them in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder to maximize freshness.<\/p>

Ground Coriander:<\/strong>\u00a0Coriander is more subtle than cumin, but still stands proud in a complex dish of umami, sweet, punchy flavor. It\u2019s a little floral but not as powerful as cilantro.<\/p>

Smoked Paprika:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s one of my favorite spices to use, so I wanted to include it here. I\u2019ve seen it left out of other shakshuka recipes, but some use either the sweet or smoked form. I recommend you go smokey on this one.<\/p>

Caraway Seeds:<\/strong>\u00a0I feel it\u2019s not as common to find ground caraway as it is their seeds. The seeds are totally fine to consume\u2014make sure to toast them ahead of time. I included it here because it\u2019s a common ingredient in harissa paste. Also, carraway has a licorice essence and is another important flavor to build on top of the others in this recipe.<\/p>

Bell Pepper:<\/strong>\u00a0An integral ingredient in shakshuka, bell peppers add a little texture and sweetness.<\/p>

Yellow Onion:<\/strong>\u00a0I included onion since it\u2019s a staple ingredient in shakshouka and also brings out some sweetness as it breaks down into the sauce.<\/p>

Roma Tomatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of using only canned crushed tomatoes or canned whole tomatoes, I wanted to add variety with cooked down pieces of fresh tomato. If you don\u2019t have one on hand, you can use whole canned tomatoes. You can also use beefsteak.<\/p>

Jalape\u00f1o:<\/strong>\u00a0I opted for these since they\u2019re the easiest chiles to find. You could also use serrano or habanero depending on how spicy you\u2019d like this to be. If you don\u2019t have access to fresh chiles, you can use cayenne pepper.<\/p>

Garlic:<\/strong>\u00a0Another very important staple. Use lots of garlic and chop it pretty finely so it evenly disperses through the sauce.<\/p>

Crushed Tomatoes:<\/strong>\u00a0I went for canned crushed to balance the fresh chunkier tomatoes that are in here. Feel free to use whole canned and crush yourself in a food processor or with an immersion blender.<\/p>

Large Eggs:<\/strong> The star of this dish are the eggs. I use large since they\u2019re the Delish go-to. If you go smaller, you may have room to add more in the sauce. If you go larger, then you may have to subtract 1 or 2.<\/p>

Feta:<\/strong>\u00a0Lean into Middle East\/Israeli ingredients by using feta. It\u2019s a lovely briny and salty addition.<\/p>

Cilantro:<\/strong>\u00a0I love how vibrant cilantro is, and it works great with feta, tomato, and on eggs. Only use a small amount so it doesn\u2019t take over the more milder flavors. If you aren\u2019t a fan, you can omit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Step <\/span>1<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

In a 10\u201d skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add coriander, cumin, paprika, and caraway seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until toasted and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add bell pepper and onion; season with 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally and reducing heat to medium-low if spices are getting too dark, until onions are lightly golden and peppers are softened, about 10 minutes.<\/p>

Step\u00a0<\/span>2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Stir in roma tomatoes, garlic, and jalape\u00f1os; season with 1\/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes begin to cook down and garlic and jalape\u00f1o are fragrant, about 10 minutes.<\/p>

Step\u00a0<\/span>3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Pour in crushed tomatoes; season with salt, if needed. Cook, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking, until mixture is thickened, about 8 minutes.<\/p>

Step 4<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Reduce heat to medium-low. Create 6 divots in vegetable mixture with the tip of a wooden spoon. Crack eggs into divots. Cover pan with a lid and cook until egg whites are bright white and firm and yolks are still runny, 8 to 10 minutes.<\/p>

Step\u00a0<\/span>5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Top with cilantro and feta. Serve with bread alongside (if using).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
