Instructions

1. 1Heat the 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil in a 30.48 cm skillet over medium heat (176.7°C / 175°C). Add the 1 medium Onion, chopped into 1.27 cm pieces, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it looks softened and is a pale yellow color.
2. 2Add the 3 cloves of Garlic, minced, and the 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, chopped into 1.27 cm pieces, to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring often, until the garlic smells fragrant and the pepper looks slightly softened.
3. 3Stir in the about 790 g of Diced Tomatoes, the 2 tablespoons of Tomato Paste, the 1 cup of Fava Beans, shelled, and the 1 teaspoon each of cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Stir everything together well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; let it cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
4. 4Using a spoon, make 8 small wells in the tomato and fava bean mixture in the skillet. Carefully crack 1 large Egg into each of the 8 wells.
5. 5Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the egg whites are completely set and opaque, and the yolks are still slightly runny.
6. 6While the eggs are cooking, prepare the flatbread batter. In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of Cassava Flour, the 1/2 cup of Water, and the 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, then stir until a smooth batter forms.
7. 7Heat a lightly oiled griddle or flat pan over medium-high heat (204.4°C / 200°C). Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot pan for each flatbread and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
8. 8Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of Fresh Cilantro, chopped, over the Shakshuka, and serve immediately with the prepared cassava flour flatbreads.
