Mediterranean
Shakshuka
Shakshuka is Mediterranean home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
How to cook it
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium and cook the onion and bell peppers until soft, about 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Make six wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each.
- Cover and cook until the whites are set but the yolks still jiggle, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Scatter feta and parsley over the top and serve from the pan.

When to cook it
Shakshuka takes about 35 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at breakfast. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
