Poached Eggs with Tomato, Onion and Pepper (Shakshuka)

, , ,

Shakshuka is a simple, yet classic dish that can be eaten for not only breakfast, but any meal of the day. Some say it is said to have originated in Tunisia or Yemen, but this dish is popular in many parts of North Africa and Middle East. Shakshuka translates to “all mixed up” or “shaken” and the traditional version uses tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices with eggs gently poached on top.

Ingredients:
1 serving Large Whole Eggs or Egg Whites
1 small Tomato, chopped

Preparation:
In a non-stick pan (or pan coated with unflavored non-stick cooking spray), cook the onion, pepper and garlic over low to medium heat for 5 minutes or until softened.

Stir in tomato, coriander, paprika and cumin, cooking for another 5 minutes. Red pepper flakes can be added if you like the extra spice.
