Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) canned crushed tomatoes
  • ½ medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 4 whole large eggs
  • 2 pieces pita bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in cumin and paprika, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Pour in crushed tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, 5–6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make 4 small wells in the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, keeping yolks intact.

    Cover and cook until egg whites just set but yolks still jiggle, 4–5 minutes.

    Warm pita bread. Serve shakshuka hot with pita for dipping and yogurt sauce on the side.
