Chakchouka is a delicious dish built around tomatoes, red pepper and green pepper. It has a homemade, generous feel that makes it easy to imagine as the star of the meal, with deep tomato flavour and garlic depth.

Preparation time: 25 min

Ingredients

• Tomatoes – 4
• Olive Oil – 2 tbs
• Onion – 1 Diced
• Red Pepper – 1 sliced
• Green Pepper – 1 sliced
• Garlic – 3 Cloves Crushed
• Cumin – 1 tsp
• Paprika – 1 tsp
• Salt – 3/4 teaspoon
• Chili Powder – 1/2 teaspoon
• Eggs – 4

Method

In a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan with a lid, heat oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Add the peppers and garlic, and sauté for an additional 3-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin, paprika, salt, and chili powder. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and continue to simmer, uncovered, 10-15 minutes until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. (Taste the sauce at this point and adjust for salt and spice, as desired.) Using the back of a spoon, make four craters in the mixture, large enough to hold an egg. Crack one egg into each of the craters. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the eggs have set. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.
