👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or braiser over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.
3
Stir in the tomato paste, paprika, cumin, and chili powder (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the crushed tomatoes (with their juices), salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
5
Make wells in the tomato sauce using the back of a spoon. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
6
Cover the skillet and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Be careful not to overcook the yolks.
7
Garnish with fresh parsley and coriander. Serve immediately with warm Libyan bread for dipping.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a spicier shakshuka, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped fresh chili pepper along with the bell pepper.
✓If the sauce becomes too thick during simmering, add a tablespoon or two of water.
✓Ensure your skillet has a lid that fits tightly to trap the steam for cooking the eggs.
