Shakshuka with Chickpeas (Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos Bottle**)
  • 1.5 tsp parpika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne powder or crushed red pepper (optional, use 1/4 tsp or more to make spicier)
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1 28 oz. can whole, peeled tomatoes
  • 1 tsp + more to taste kosher salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • parsley, cilantro, mint or mix to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • 1.  Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven with a lid.


  • 2. Add onion to skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add garlic. Cook until onion softens, another 4-6 minutes.


  • 3. Add paprika, cumin, and chickpeas. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.


  • 4. Add the can of tomatoes and their juices, crushing tomatoes with your hands or wooden spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until sauce thickens, 10-15 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt.


  • 5. Use a spoon to make a small well in the sauce and crack your first egg into the well. Repeat for each of the eggs, spacing evenly apart. Cover with lid and simmer until egg whites set, but yolks are still runny, about 7-10 minutes.


  • 6. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs (if using). Serve immediately or store, covered, in the refrigerator 4-5 days.

Enjoy!
