WATCH HOW TO MAKE SHAKSHUKA:

I don’t think I know a single person that doesn’t love easy, one-pan meals. What’s not to love — cooking everything in one dish not only makes the prep super simple, but you’re also cutting way back on the amount of dishes you have to wash. Less dishes = winning!

Since making shakshuka for the first time a few months ago, Isaac and I have become obsessed. The base of shakshuka is simply tomatoes but we’ve tried it a couple different ways, but I think this version with bell pepper, feta and curry spices is my absolute favorite. Y’all know how I feel about curry… LOVE!

Since the main protein source for this dish is eggs, you can serve it for just about any meal — breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It comes together quickly and works great as a fast weeknight dinner option. Plus, you can reheat the leftovers for breakfast.. score!

If you’re new to the dish, don’t be scared away by the name. It’s way easier to cook then it is to pronounce. Just kidding, it’s pretty easy to pronounce as well… I’m no expert, but here’s how I think it’s supposed to be pronounced: shock-shoo-kah. I should note that the feta adds a lovely creaminess to the dish, but if you’re dairy-free or paleo you can easily leave the cheese out.

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 orange bell pepper, chopped

Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic to the skillet and cook until onions are soft and fragrant — about 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Add cumin, paprika, cayenne, curry, turmeric, salt and pepper. Give the mixture a stir and cook for about 1 minute more. Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and bring sauce to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens up a bit, about 10 minutes. Add feta cheese to the tomato mixture and stir.
3. Crack eggs into tomato sauce. You should be able to fit 4-5 eggs in a large skillet. Cover and let the eggs cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are completely cooked through. Remove skillet from heat, uncover and let sit for a 1-2 minutes before serving.
4. Spoon 1-2 eggs along with a big serving of tomato sauce on to each plate. Garnish with extra feta cheese and fresh cilantro and parsley. Serve with toast, veggies or over a whole grain like quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
