Easy Shakshuka Recipe For One

In this post we will go over one of the tastiest breakfast there is – an easy shakshuka recipe for one. Let’s get right into it!

Ingridients

So what will you need to make a great shakshuka, not much actually:

• Eggs. 2 will make for a good portion for one.
• Olive oil.
• Crushed Tomatoes or peeled tomatoes. Canned are perfect for this.
• Half of an onion (diced)
• Half of a red bell pepper – diced (green works well too)
• Clove of garlic, chopped.
• Tomato paste – 1/2 tbs
• Cumin – 1/2 tsp
• Paprika – 1/2 tsp
• Chili – a pinch, depending on your preferences.
• Salt and Pepper – to taste
• Parsley or Cilantro – to taste

How do you cook it?

Easy!

1. On medium heat, preheat your pan.
2. Add olive oil, wait for a bit so it warms up.
3. Add chopped onions and red bell pepper.
4. When they soften up and onions are translucent, add garlic.
5. After garlic is also a bit translucent, add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste.
6. Add your spices – a pinch of chili, paprika, and cumin go in now.
7. Mix it all up and let it simmer for a bit, if needed lower the heat.
8. After all the ingredients got nice and friendly with each other, (roughly 2-3 minutes) with a spatula create a well in your sauce, into this well break an egg (if you have two eggs – that means two wells).
9. Cover with a lid or with a foil, and let it simmer until the eggs are of desired consistency. I like the egg whites cooked through while the yolk is still a bit runny. That is roughly 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
10. Remove the cover, add cilantro and/or parsley, and voila you are done!

There you have it! A very tasty and easy shakshuka recipe for one.
