Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). (2 minutes)

02

Step

Heat olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. (7 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in ground cumin and hot pepper sauce. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aroma. (1 minute)

04

Step

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the diced green chiles, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together beautifully. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Using the back of a spoon, make 6 shallow indentations in the tomato sauce. Gently crack an egg into each indentation. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny and luscious. (12 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the cumin.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the shakshuka to a baking dish before adding the eggs.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita for dipping into the delicious sauce and runny yolks.
