Simple Shakshouka
Eggs poached in spiced tomato sauce. The perfect brunch for easy entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lb sausage
- 1/2 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 24 oz crushed tomatoes
- 6 eggs
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet on high heat. When pan is hot add in oil and sausage. Saute on medium heat until sausage is browned.
- Then add diced onion, garlic, bell pepper. Add in cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and garlic salt and saute for 3 minutes.
- Add in crushed tomatoes and allow sauce to simmer on low for 10 minutes.
- Create small dips in your tomato sauce to hold the eggs.
- Gently crack eggs and place them into the tomato sauce, slightly spaced apart.
- Put a lid on the eggs in tomato sauce and cook on medium heat for 6-10 minutes, depending on if you want an over easy or well-done egg. If you are cooking in a cast iron skillet, this will reduce your cooking time for the egg.
- Optional: garnish with fresh parsley and feta cheese and serve with crusty bread. I didn't have any when I made this, so I went without. It was still really delicious from all the spices!
