Shakshuka in the Sukkah!

Shakshuka is one of my favorite Israeli dishes, which consists of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce.
Shakshuka is a classic Israeli breakfast, but can be served as a main course any meal of the day!

Recipe from Saveur

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

5 Anaheim chile's or 3 jalapenos, stemmed,
seeded, and finely chopped

1 small yellow onion, chopped

8 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tbsp. paprika

1 28-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes,
undrained

Kosher salt, to taste

8 eggs

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley

Warm pita, for serving

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Add chiles and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and paprika, and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft, about 2 more minutes.

2. Put tomatoes and their liquid into a medium bowl and crush with your hands. Add crushed tomatoes and their liquid to skillet along with 1/2 cup water, reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened slightly, about 20 minutes. Season sauce with salt.

3. Crack eggs over sauce so that eggs are evenly distributed across sauce's surface. Cover skillet and cook until yolks are just set, about 5 minutes. Using a spoon, baste the whites of the eggs with tomato mixture, being careful not to disturb the yolk. Sprinkle shakshuka with feta and parsley and serve with pita, for dipping.

SERVES 4 – 6
