Shakshuka

This is a dish prepared all over the Mediterranean with slight variations among the cultures. At its essence, it is eggs cooked in tomatoes. It is incredibly fragrant and delicious, served over rice, couscous, or eaten straight with pita!





Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil 1 large white onion, minced 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 red bell pepper, minced 1/2 green bell pepper, minced 3 large ripe fresh tomatoes, cut in pieces 4 eggs Salt and pepper Parsley

Preparation

Drizzle the olive oil in a skillet, and add the onion and peppers, and sautee until translucent. Add the garlic and continue sauteeing, until the onions have a bit of golden color on them. Now add the fresh tomatoes, salt and pepper, and continue to cook for about 5 minutes, preferably covered. When the tomatoes are well cooked, crack the eggs into the tomato mixture and let cook to desired doneness. At this point, you may either break up the eggs or leave them sunny-side up to serve, sprinkled with a bit of parsley.
