Shakshuka Recipe | Savory Breakfast Idea

I had leftover red pasta sauce and didn’t want pasta. Here’s what I made. It’s not authentic but it’s still good!

Ingredients:

• Red sauce or can of tomatoes

• Red pepper

• Onion

• Eggs

• Cumin, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder of any kind

• Bread for serving

• (Optional) Literally any kind of peppers

Directions:

1. In a pan, fry chopped bell peppers, onion, and (optionally) other peppers.

2. Once they start to char, pour in a can of tomatoes or red sauce. Let it simmer. Add water as necessary to prevent it from getting too thick.

3. As it thickens, mix in your spices.

4. Create a pocket in the sauce after it has slightly thickened. Crack an egg into this pocket. Cover the egg whites in the sauce. I suggest covering the pan with a lid for an even cook. Cook until the eggs are to your liking.

5. Serve with bread. Enjoy!

Additional notes: if you’re using a can of red sauce, fill up the empty can with a bit of water to get ALL of the sauce out. For my recipe, I added in chopped jalapeños and chipotle chili powder to make it spicier.

... Read moreShakshuka, a dish with roots in North Africa and the Middle East, has gained popularity globally for its versatility and depth of flavor. Traditionally made with poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce, this easy version utilizes leftover red pasta sauce, which not only saves time but also minimizes waste. You can experiment with various spices, like cumin and paprika, to enhance the taste profile and adapt the dish to your preferences. By adding jalapeños and chipotle chili powder, you can introduce a delightful spiciness that balances perfectly with the richness of the eggs. This recipe accommodates various dietary preferences; using different vegetables allows for a customizable experience suitable for vegetarians or those looking to boost their veggie intake. Serve your Shakshuka with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, making it a hearty breakfast or brunch option. Moreover, it’s not only quick to prepare but also visually appealing, making it a great dish to share with friends or family, ensuring everyone enjoys this savory culinary delight. If you have any leftovers, Shakshuka can be easily reheated and enjoyed the next day, making it a practical choice for busy lifestyles. No matter how you make it, Shakshuka is not just a meal; it's a delightful experience!
