Shakshuka with feta: these ingredients go into the pan

What could be better than taking time for a leisurely breakfast or an extended brunch at the weekend? This shakshuka with feta is perfect for this, as you don’t need many ingredients and the recipe is quick and easy to make. Basically, this recipe is a variation on the original shakshuka. And in case you don’t know what it is, shakshuka is a delicious Levantine stir-fry with eggs cooked in a savory tomato sauce. You will need these ingredients:

  • Eggs: It’s best to use fresh organic eggs
  • Tomatoes: I use canned peeled tomatoes for this. But make sure the tomatoes are of good quality.
  • Peppers: I use red peppers, but you can also vary with green peppers.
  • Chili or harissa: For a spicy note, I either add a chopped chili to the sauce or a small dab of the Levantine chili paste harissa.
  • Garlic & onion: are fried directly in a little olive oil and add a hearty spice.
  • Spices: In addition to salt, paprika powder and cumin are also added to the sauce.
  • Feta: Crumble the feta over the shakshuka and let it cook for a while while the eggs set in the sauce.
  • Coriander: I personally love coriander and use it to garnish the finished shakshuka with feta. If you’re not a fan of coriander, you can simply use flat-leaf parsley.
