Egg and Tomato Shakshuka (Emirati Style)
A simple and flavorful Emirati twist on Shakshuka, where eggs are poached in a spiced tomato sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1/2 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Place a 25.4 cm skillet over medium heat (162.8°C/163°C). Add the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- 2Add the 1/2 medium onion, chopped into 0.635 cm pieces, and the 1/2 medium green bell pepper, chopped into 0.635 cm pieces. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion looks translucent.
- 3Add the 2 cloves of garlic, minced. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 4Add the 2 medium tomatoes, chopped into 1.27 cm pieces, the 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, the 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, the 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir everything together. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has thickened slightly.
- 5Use a spoon to make four small wells in the tomato sauce. Carefully crack 1 large egg into each well.
- 6Cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. The eggs are done when the whites are no longer clear.
- 7Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of fresh cilantro evenly over the top. Serve immediately.
