Eggs Shakshuka
Yield 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced green or red pepper or a combo of both
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- ½ jalapeno pepper, diced
- 2 ½ teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped, fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (28 oz.) can crushed tomatoes, no salt
- 1-2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, pepper and jalapeno pepper and saute 10 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more.
- Add ¼ cup water, balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, salt, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly.
- If you are saving half the sauce for another meal, remove it now.
- Stir 1 oz. crumbled feta into the remaining sauce on the stove top.
- Form two indentations with the back of a spoon for the eggs. Don’t go too deep; the bottom of the pan is too deep. There should still be sauce on the bottom.
- One at a time, crack eggs into a small cup and gently slip 1 egg into each indentation. Sprinkle black pepper over eggs.
- Cover the pan and simmer slowly until eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onion, fresh oregano and a little more feta.
- Divide among two bowls. Serve with pita or bread for dipping.
Notes
This recipe intends for you to remove half the sauce in Step 4. If you are preparing this for four, use four eggs and do not remove any sauce.
