Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small pan or skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

02

Step

Arrange the sliced mushrooms in a single layer in the skillet, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Top with the sliced red onions, followed by the sliced peppers, and another pinch of salt.

03

Step

Place the skillet over medium-high heat, and wait for the mushrooms to start sizzling. Cook until the bottoms of the mushrooms are nicely browned, approximately 3 minutes. Then, stir everything together and cook for 1 minute more.

04

Step

Add the cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring continuously, for another 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in the tomato puree and water, and wait for the mixture to simmer. Stir in half of the chopped fresh cilantro and scatter over half of the crumbled feta cheese.

05

Step

Use a spoon to create a well in the center of the sauce, and carefully transfer the egg into it. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook until the egg is done to your liking, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.

06

Step

Serve immediately, topped with Aleppo chili flakes (if using), and the remaining olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy with sliced bread on the side for dipping.

For a richer flavor, consider using roasted red peppers instead of fresh ones.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spice.
If you don't have feta cheese, goat cheese or ricotta salata would also work well.
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or eggplant to the sauce.
For a vegan version, omit the egg and feta cheese, and add a can of chickpeas for protein.

    Love this recipe! I sometimes add a dollop of yogurt on top for extra creaminess.

    I've made this shakshuka several times now, and it's always a hit. It's the perfect weekend brunch for one.

    This recipe is a game-changer! So easy to make and incredibly flavorful. I added a little bit of harissa paste for extra heat.

  • Rosetta Reilly

    I didn't have all the spices on hand, but it still turned out delicious. I used a pinch of red pepper flakes instead of cayenne pepper.
