Title: Shakshuka With Feta And Couscous Recipe By Molly Yeh
Ingredients:
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional for a bit of heat)
– 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4-6 large eggs
– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
– Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
– 1 cup cooked couscous
Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper is slightly softened.
3. Add the ground cumin, paprika, and chili powder if using, stirring well to combine and allowing the spices to bloom for about a minute.
4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer the sauce for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Using a spoon, make wells in the tomato sauce and carefully crack the eggs one by one into each well, being careful not to break the yolks. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and sauce, and continue to cook for another minute until the cheese slightly melts.
7. Serve the Shakshuka over cooked couscous, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
