Why families love this recipe
Our shakshuka is a great option for families with kids because it’s warm, hearty, and packed with gentle flavors that appeal to younger palates. The creamy beans and softly cooked eggs make it both filling and comforting, while the smoky tomato sauce adds flavor without being too spicy. It’s all made in one pan, which means less cleanup for parents.
The dish is typically prepared for breakfast or brunch, but it also works great as a dinner.
Instructions:
- Make the sauce
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil to the skillet.
- When the oil is warm, add the garlic and onion to the skillet.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring now and then, until the onions are soft
- Next, pour in the tomatoes with their juices. Using a wooden spoon, mash the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Be careful not to splash your shirt.
- Add the paprika, cumin, oregano, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Give it all a good stir.
- Let the sauce come to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens.
- Add the white beans and stir them into the skillet. Let everything simmer for another 3 minutes.
- Eggcellence
- Now for the fun part. Gently crack four eggs right into the skillet.
- Cover with a lid and let them cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
- Serve
- When it’s ready, sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped parsley on top.
- Serve with the crusty bread. Dipping the bread is encouraged.
