Equipment

  • Large Pan or Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bell pepper sliced, I used a red pepper
  • 1 14- ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes with the juice
  • 1 14- ounce can no-salt-added chickpeas drained
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional for heat
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
  • Add the no-salt-added tomatoes (with the juice), no-salt-added chickpeas, lime juice, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for about 15 minutes until warm and bubbling.
  • With a spoon, make 4 wells in the beans. Crack and egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes more until eggs are set and cooked all the way through.
  • Before serving, top shakshuka with fresh chopped cilantro, and additional lime juice if desired.
