Caregory : Breakfast Recipes

Shakshuka is a dish of poached eggs with tomatoes, onion and cumin. I learned about it while traveling, and it's been my favorite way to eat eggs since.

Ingredient

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 garlic clove, minced
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon Sriracha chili sauce or hot pepper sauce, optional
    • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
    • 4 large eggs
    • Chopped fresh cilantro
    • Whole pita breads, toasted

Direction

    1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic, seasonings and, if desired, chili sauce; cook 30 seconds longer. Add tomatoes; cook until mixture is thickened, stirring occasionally, 3-5 minutes.
    2. With back of spoon, make 4 wells in vegetable mixture; break 1 egg into each well. Cook, covered, until egg whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro; serve with pita bread.
