Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern - North African dish that consists of eggs poached in a very flavorful tomato and pepper sauce. It's is very easy to make and can be made very spicy or mild depending on the spice mix used.

4 Eggs (2 eggs per serving. Adjust for your plan)

2 cups Chopped tomato. (very ripe)

2 Cloves garlic minced

1 cup Onion minced

1 cup Red bell pepper chopped

1 6" pita bread

¼ tsp Morton's Lite Salt

⅛ tsp Ground pepper

1 tsp Ground cumin

1 tsp Smoked paprika

4 tsp Olive oil

2 cups wateruse more if needed

2 tsp Harissa(use this for spicy version)

2 tbsp Chopped parsley(garnish)

Heat oil in a medium size skillet over medium heat.

Add tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic to pan

Cook for 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally

Add in salt, pepper, cumin and smoked paprika. (ONLY ADD HARISSA IF YOU LIKE VERY SPICY FOOD!)

Add 2 cups of water and cover.

Lower heat to med. low and cook for 30 minutes stirring occasionally. Add more water as needed to keep the consistency of a tomato sauce.

Blend mixture using a stick blender until somewhat smooth. This is NOT a necessary step as a chunky mixture is just as good.

Crack 4 eggs onto mixture and cover. Lower heat to low.

Eggs should cook for about 7 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly firm.

Gently spoon 2 eggs and half of the sauce per serving.

Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over eggs.

Cut pita bread into 8 triangles and serve 4 to a serving.
