Ingredients
  

Shakshouka Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil used for sautéing
  • 1 small onion finely chopped adds sweetness and texture
  • 1 small red bell pepper finely chopped adds color and sweetness
  • 2 cloves garlic minced adds depth of flavor
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika adds warmth and earthiness
  • 1 teaspoon coriander adds citrusy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon cumin adds earthy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder adds mild heat
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances flavors
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper adds mild heat
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes creates the base of the sauce
Remaining Ingredients
  • ½ cup chili oil or olive oil divided used for frying eggs
  • 5 ounces crumbled feta divided used for topping eggs
  • 8 large eggs for frying
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano adds herbal flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste seasoning for eggs
  • 8 slices toasted bread base for the shakshouka toast
  • ½ cup pesto for drizzling on top

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.
  2. Add paprika, coriander, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and canned crushed tomatoes, stirring to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and set aside.
  3. Heat ¼ cup chili oil or olive oil in a nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2 ½ ounces crumbled feta in an even layer and heat for 30 seconds or until feta starts to melt.
  4. Crack 4 eggs directly on top of the feta and season with a pinch of oregano, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the desired degree of doneness and the feta has browned. Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining 4 eggs.
  5. Spoon shakshouka sauce on toasted bread. Top each slice with a feta fried egg and drizzle pesto on top. Serve immediately.
