Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a high-sided, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, cumin and smoked paprika, and sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 2
Add tomatoes and water to skillet. Bring to a boil. Stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.
Step 3
Using a spoon, create 6 small wells in rice mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Transfer skillet to oven; cook for 12-15 minutes, or until rice is tender, and egg whites are set and yolks are runny, or until the eggs are cooked as desired.
Step 4
Garnish shakshuka with parsley before serving.
Recipe Tip
For spicy eggs, stir 1 tablespoon of harissa paste into rice mixture before adding eggs. Or, simply serve the shakshuka alongside your favorite hot sauce.
Shakshuka 101
