Description

Shakshuka is a delicious and hearty dish perfect for Sunday breakfast or brunch, featuring eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce with ground sausage and fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb. Ground Sausage
½ Yellow Onion, chopped
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 tbsp. Harissa
¼ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
½ tsp. Ground Cumin
½ tsp. Paprika
Pinch of Kosher Salt + Black Pepper
28 oz. can Crushed Tomatoes
1 – 2 cups Fresh Spinach, as desired
3 Eggs
1 Baguette, sliced
Olive Oil, optional for toasting bread

Instructions

Crumble the ground sausage into a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté until slightly browning, about 10 minutes.
Add the onion, red pepper and continue to cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, harissa, seasonings, and salt + pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add crushed tomatoes and fold-in the spinach. Simmer for 10 – 15 minutes, uncovered. The sauce will slightly thicken.
While the sauce simmers, slice and toast the baguette.
When the sauce is ready, make three wells and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook until the eggs are set to your desired consistency. This will take between 4 – 6 minutes.
For maximum flavor, top the entire skillet with recommended garnishes and serve immediately with toasted baguette.

Notes

Recommended garnishes include Feta Cheese, Avocado, Fresh Italian Parsley, Microgreens, Edible Flowers, and Red Pepper Flakes.
Adjust the level of spiciness by varying the amount of harissa and cayenne pepper.
