Shakshuka is a Tunisian dish that is easy to make. It is similar to the Turkish dish menemen and the Latin American breakfast dish huevos rancheros. 

 Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ⅓ cups chopped onion
  • 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers, any color
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or to taste
  • 2 ½ cups chopped tomatoes (drained canned tomatoes or fresh tomatoes)
  • 1 hot chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs 

 Directions 

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables have softened and onion has turned translucent, about 5 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, mix together tomatoes, chili pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl. 
  • Stir tomato mixture into onion mixture. Simmer, uncovered, until tomato juices have cooked off, about 10 minutes. 
  • Make 4 indentations in tomato mixture; crack eggs into indentations. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are firm but not dry, about 5 minutes.
