Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb chorizo sausage meat
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 red bell pepper, cubed
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4-6 eggs

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Add the sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the tomato paste and caramelize for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the spices, tomatoes, and bell pepper to the skillet and stir. Once it is simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes.
  5. After 20 minutes, reserve ⅔ of the shakshuka and divide into two containers.
  6. With the remaining ⅓ of the shakshuka still in the pan, use a large spoon to create four to six small wells. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid for 5 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.
  7. Once done, garnish with chopped parsley, chopped cilantro and crumbled feta. Serve with a side of bread or pita chips, and enjoy!
