Shakshuka
This Shakshuka recipe is hearty, flavorful, and makes the perfect breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! It's made with ground sausage that's simmered in a savory tomato sauce, then finished with perfectly poached eggs.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ pound mild or spicy ground sausage or ground turkey optional, see note
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper core removed and diced
- 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 4 eggs
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large non-reactive skillet (stainless steel or enameled cast iron is great) over medium heat. Once oil is hot, add sausage. Cook until no pink remains and sausage is crumbled.
- Add in onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add in diced tomatoes and all spices and stir together.
- Bring tomato sauce up to a boil, and then lower the heat. Add in the spinach, and cook until wilted.
- Create four small indents into the sauce mixture and crack an egg into each.
- Cover the pan and let cook until eggs are cooked as desired.
- Garnish with parsley and serve!
