Cooking Steps

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onions and cook until they are soft and translucent.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes and cubed potato, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the mixture until the potato is tender, which should take about 10 minutes.
  • Make small wells in the tomato mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well.
  • Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs are just set, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Shakshuka is best served warm right out of the skillet. Pair it with crusty bread or pita to soak up the delicious sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. For a richer flavor, add spices like cumin or paprika while cooking the tomatoes. Feel free to incorporate other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
