Eggs Any Style Shaksouka

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced small
  • 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 whole small sprig fresh oregano
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 to 8 eggs

Directions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large sauté pan with high sides set over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, then cook them gently for about 5 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
  2. Add the tomatoes, cumin, coriander, paprika, oregano and water. Stir everything together, then taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed. Bring it up to a boil, lower the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 25 minutes.
  3. Take off the lid and add the eggs to the bubbling sauce one by one, leaving a few inches of space between them. Cover the pan again and keep simmering for about 5 minutes for soft yolks, or continue until the whites are done and the yolks are as set as you like.
  4. Spoon the eggs and sauce into shallow bowls, and serve with thick toasted bread for soaking up the sauce and yolks.
