How to Make Shakshuka

By Camille Styles
Amazing breakfast spread. Shukshuka is the best!

Ever since I’ve known Chanel, she’s raved about these incredible breakfasts that her Israeli family makes, full of salads and hummus and all kinds of other savory things. One of the highlights is Shakshuka, a middle-eastern dish that’s made by poaching eggs in a flavorful tomato sauce. In today’s video, Chanel shows me how to make Shakshuka (I’m already obsessed!), and stay tuned for our full Israeli breakfast spread next week.

Keep scrolling for the recipe, and if you’d like to watch me make more healthy recipes like an ahi tuna poké bowl, my favorite lunchtime grain bowl, and the secret to the best grilled chicken ever, check out our full video page here!

How to Make Shakshuka

Ingredients

  • 2 TBS olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, sliced
  • 8 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • 1 TBS tomato paste
  • 6 eggs
  • flat leaf parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Over medium-high, heat the olive oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet. Once hot, add the garlic and jalapeño.
  2. When the garlic becomes slightly golden and the jalapeño softens, add the tomatoes. Add the cumin, paprika and tomato paste and stir. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the sauce is fully broken down and thickened.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs into the tomato sauce. Once the eggs seem to be mostly cooked through -- about 8 minutes -- cover the skillet to cook the top of the eggs, checking periodically to ensure the yolks don't get overcooked.
  4. Remove from heat and garnish with sea salt, black pepper and parsley. Serve with fresh bread.

    I am a South African, I’ve always wished to know what do Israelite’s eat, my believe is, you eat healthy. I cant wait to try this menu especially the shakshuka recipe.

  12. Mollie says:

    How much of the spices do you add?

  13. leslie teague says:

    I do not like soft eggs, can I cook longer to ensure the yolks aren’t runny or semi runny?

    1. Camille Styles says:

      Hi Leslie!
      Sure, you can absolutely cook the eggs to as set as you’d like them. 🙂

  14. Mom of 2 boys says:

    Can you please suggest an amount of cumin and paprika for kids?

    1. Camille Styles says:

      Hi there! They might go for these amounts of spices since they’re not at all overwhelming, but if you want to “ease them into it” a bit, you could try cutting both amounts in half. 🙂 Let us know how it goes!

  15. Sarah says:

    How much cumin and paprika do you add? Amounts not listed in recipe. I can estimate but don’t want it to overpower. Thanks!

    I made an individual serving of this with two Farm fresh eggs. I substituted the fresh tomatoes and tomato paste with about a half a can of semi-drained, fire-roasted diced tomatoes (from Aldi’s) & sweated down the sauce to thicken it. I used 2 cloves of garlic, a whole small jalapeño (because I like the heat) and some good Hungarian hot paprika from Budapest. Since I didn’t want the fresh bread I added a few slices of Haas avocado on the side with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice & salt. It was Awesome & filling and opened up a whole new door for me!
