Servings 4
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 - medium red onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2-3 cups fresh diced tomatoes
- 2 small chilies, dried or fresh (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ¼ tsp black mustard seeds(option)
- salt to taste
- 4-6 large eggs
- fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion. Sauté until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add minced garlic, cumin seed, garam masala, black mustard seeds, and chili. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to release the flavors.
- Add diced tomatoes and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Use a spoon to create small wells in the sauce, and carefully crack the eggs into these wells. Space them evenly across the pan.
- Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook in the simmering sauce for about 5-7 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook for a longer time.
- Remove the skillet from heat once the eggs are cooked to your liking. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or cilantro over the top for garnish.
- Serve the shakshuka directly from the skillet with warm crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping.
