Chili Shakshuka Recipes

EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
• Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
• Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
• Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

CHILI SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the diced red onion; set the remaining onion aside for serving. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is slightly translucent, about 4 minutes, then add the garlic and cook until softened, 2 minutes.
• Add the ground turkey and cook over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt, then season with pepper. Cook, stirring, until the spices coat the mixture fully, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and break them up using the back of a wooden spoon, then add the green chiles. Fill the tomato can with 1/2 cup water and swirl around to make sure all the sauce has been removed from the can, then add this mixture to the skillet. Let the chili simmer until it has thickened and some of the liquid has cooked off, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make five wells with a back of a large metal spoon into the top of the chili and crack an egg into each hole. Put the skillet in the oven and cook until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and serve topped with the remaining half of the diced red onion, shredded Cheddar, cilantro, sour cream, scallions, avocado and tortilla chips.
