How to cook deliciously - Shakshuka with Feta, Olives, and Peppers

1. Stage

Cook the onion and peppers: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the paprika, cumin, and pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds to a minute to bloom the spices. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, red pepper, and yellow pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.

2. Stage

Crush the tomatoes and simmer them with the peppers: In a bowl, break up the tomatoes with your hands. Add them to the skillet with the salt and cook for 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt, if you prefer.

3. Stage

Cook the eggs: With the back of a spoon or a ladle, make 4 indentations in the sauce. Break an egg into a cup and carefully pour it into and indentation, being careful not to break the yolk. Repeat with the remaining eggs. (You can crack the egg directly into the sauce and skip the cup, but it’s easier to get a an errant egg shell or protect the dish from a bad egg if you use the cup method.) Sprinkle the feta and olives around the eggs. Cover the pan and simmer over medium heat for 8 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft. (If you like your eggs well done, cook for a minute or two longer.)

4. Stage

To serve: Garnish with cilantro leaves and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. Bring to the table and serve from the pan. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars and leave a comment below!
