Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    **Sauté the Base**: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it's soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    **Add the Bell Pepper and Garlic**: Stir in the diced bell pepper and garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the pepper softens.

  3. 3

    **Spice It Up**: Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to release the spices' aromas.

  4. 4

    **Tomato Time**: Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper. Let this mixture simmer for about 10-12 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  5. 5

    **Create Wells for the Eggs**: Using a spoon, make small wells in the sauce, gently cracking an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the eggs are set to your liking (about 5-7 minutes for runny yolks).

  6. 6

    **Finishing Touches**: Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese over the top.

  7. 7

    **Garnish and Serve**: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve the shakshuka bowl hot with crusty bread on the side for dipping.

Backstory: Originating from North Africa and popular in Israel, shakshuka features eggs poached in a rich, spiced tomato sauce. It's a dish that brings warmth and depth, perfectly suited for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
