Instructions

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Using a spoon, create small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook to your desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes for runny yolks.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
Serve the Shakshuka hot with crusty bread for dipping and enjoy!
