Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 400 grams crushed tomatoes
- 400 grams canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 250 grams ground turkey
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, paprika, and coriander, and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in the chickpeas. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Make four small wells in the shakshuka mixture and crack an egg into each well.
Cover the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Sprinkle the shakshuka with chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese for garnish.
Serve warm, directly from the skillet, with crusty bread or pita on the side.
