Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Add the minced garlic, diced red and yellow bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  3. Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground coriander, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.

  4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. Using a spoon, create wells in the sauce for the eggs. Crack one egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook to your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes for a runny yolk.

  6. Once the eggs are cooked, garnish the vegan shakshuka with chopped fresh parsley and cilantro. Serve hot with sliced crusty bread or pita on the side for dipping and enjoying the flavorful sauce.
