SHAKSHUKA
Steps:
- Toast the cumin seeds in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring so they don't burn. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind fine.
- Add the olive oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, jalapenos and onions and saute until softened and slightly charred, 7 to 9 minutes. Add the ground cumin, paprika, garlic and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the parsley and tomatoes and stir until combined. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Crack 1 egg into a 1/4-cup measuring cup. Make a well in the sauce with the bottom of the cup and pour the egg into the well. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolk is slightly runny, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the feta while still warm. Season with flaky sea salt.

This North African one-dish-meal is so fast, easy, and delicious. Be sure to cook your sauce until the veggies are nice and soft and sweet. Once the eggs go in, you can finish covered on the stove, or just pop the pan into a hot oven until they cook to your liking.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt. Cook and stir until mushrooms release all of their liquid and start to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and jalapeno pepper. Cook and stir until peppers begin to soften up, about 5 minutes. Season with cumin, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir and cook to "wake up" the flavors, about 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes and water. Adjust heat to medium and simmer uncovered until veggies are softened and sweet, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes. Add more water if sauce becomes too thick.
- Make a depression in the sauce for each egg with a large spoon. Crack egg into a small ramekin and slide gently into each indentation; repeat with the rest of the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until eggs are to your desired doneness.
- Top with feta cheese and parsley.
