Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra virgin olive oil
1 large yellow onion (chopped)
2 green peppers (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper
6 medium tomatoes, (chopped (about 6 cups chopped tomatoes))
1/2 cup tomato sauce
6 large eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
  • Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
  • Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
  • Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

SHAKSHUKA (BAKED EGGS WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE)



Shakshuka (Baked Eggs With Spicy Tomato Sauce) image

Shakshuka means "all mixed up" in Hebrew and is one of the most popular breakfast dishes in Israel and at Sofra. Many countries in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean claim a version of their own, like Tunisian chakchouka, made with peppers and harissa, and a Moroccan version made with lamb sausage and harissa. The eggs are poached directly in the spicy tomato sauce, so it's important that the sauce is well seasoned and warmed before you add the eggs.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, including the liquid
1 teaspoon Maras pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons hawayei (see Cooks' Note), or 1 teaspoon curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 eggs
6 (6-inch) store-bought pita breads or 3 Sofra Pita Breads, split in half widthwise
1/2 cup Zhoug

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • To make the spicy tomato sauce, in a large saucepan over low heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, Maras pepper, and hawayej. Simmer until the tomatoes are soft and melted, about 15 minutes. It is important to cook the sauce slowly so the tomatoes are soft enough to puree but don't reduce too much. Set the sauce aside to cool slightly.
  • Using an immersion blender and starting at low speed, puree the sauce, gradually increasing the speed as the mixture becomes smoother and resembles a silky tomato soup. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate up for up to 1 week or use immediately.
  • When you are ready to make the shakshuka, gently reheat the sauce and pour it into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish or six soufflé ramekins or small cazuelas (4 to 5 inches in diameter and at least 1-inch high).
  • To make in a 9x13-inch dish, first crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure that the yolks stay intact. Using the back of a spoon, make a divot for each egg and slide it into the sauce, one at a time, so that it doesn't float on top; leave a little space between each egg.
  • To make in individual baking dishes, set the ramekins onto a baking sheet. Ladle about 1/2 cup sauce into each dish and, using the back of a spoon, make a divot for the egg. To ensure that the yolks stay intact, first crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, then slide it into the sauce.
  • Lightly season the eggs with salt and transfer to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are just barely set and the yolks are very loose, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the shakshuka from the oven. Scoop one egg on top of each pita bread and carefully spoon a generous amount of tomato sauce from the pan over the top of the egg. Place 1 teaspoon of zhoug on top of each serving and pass around additional zhoug at the table. If serving the shakshuka individually, top each shakshuka with 2 teaspoons of zhoug and serve them with a spoon and the bread on the side so that you can use the bread or spoon to scoop up the sauce. Serve immediately with additional zhoug.

SHAKSHOUKA (ISRAELI EGGS WITH TOMATOES)

This is a sort of an Israeli take on huevos rancheros, minus the tortillas. I found the recipe in the Sunday paper a few months ago and only recently gave it a try. I have to admit I was a little leery, but it turns out to be really tasty.

SHAKSHUKA WITH FETA



Shakshuka With Feta image

Shakshuka may be at the apex of eggs-for-dinner recipes, though in Israel it is breakfast food, a bright, spicy start to the day with a pile of pita or challah served on the side. (It also makes excellent brunch or lunch food.) It's a one-skillet recipe of eggs baked in a tomato-red pepper sauce spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne. First you make that sauce, which comes together fairly quickly on top of the stove, then you gently crack each of the eggs into the pan, nestling them into the sauce. The pan is moved into the oven to finish. Shakshuka originated in North Africa, and like many great dishes there are as many versions as there are cooks who have embraced it. This one strays from more traditional renditions by adding crumbled feta cheese, which softens into creamy nuggets in the oven's heat.
