Shakshuka is traditionally a breakfast dish that originates in North Africa and the Middle East; it is a delicious mixture of peppers and tomatoes that cook down to make a pan sauce that eggs are poached in. Ree added a few things she found in her fridge – including feta cheese and kale – to make it her own.

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil

1 yellow onion, thinly sliced

1 red pepper, thinly sliced

1 orange pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced

4 cloves garlic, sliced

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

3 cups cherry tomatoes

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 cup chicken stock

1 cup torn kale

6 large eggs

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, all the peppers and the garlic. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables slightly char, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the tomatoes, tomato paste and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes begin to break open, an additional minute. Pour in the chicken stock and kale, stir to combine.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and cover. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until the tomatoes have broken down and the mixture thickens, 9 to 10 minutes.
  3. Crack the eggs into a pitcher or liquid measuring cup. Slowly add the eggs, one at a time, evenly spacing out 5 around the outer edge of the skillet and adding the last to the very center. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the whites of the eggs are set, and the yolks are runny, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and sprinkle over the feta and parsley. Serve with crusty bread.

We love this recipe. I use some Chorizo to fry the peppers and onions instead of oil. Also I didn't have feta cheese so I used a packet of shredded cheese (Mexican Blend). Delicious!
