Chili Shakshuka image

Shakshuka is a traditional Tunisian dish (now a popular Israeli breakfast) of eggs poached in tomato sauce. This version is for those times when you need your shakshuka to be just a little more substantial ;) Serve with cornbread or sturdy white bread.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter (or bacon drippings or schmaltz)
2 onions (chopped)
3/4 lb ground beef
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder (or harissa or pilpelchuma)
5 cups very ripe tomatoes (about 5 large, or a 28 ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes, chopped)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can kidney beans
4 eggs
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated)
1/2 cup sour cream (or labneh or Greek yogurt)
1/2 cup parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • Heat the fat over medium-low heat and caramelize half of the onion in it, reserving the other half of the onion for garnish.
  • Break the ground beef into the pan and brown, stirring occasionally, until cooked through.
  • Add the garlic, tomato paste, and chili powder, harissa, or pilpelchuma, stirring and cooking with the ground beef for about a minute or until fragrant.
  • Add the tomatoes and the beans and simmer for 10-20 minutes or until the sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally.
  • Make four indentations in the sauce. One at a time, crack the eggs gently into a measuring cup then pour into each indentation. With a fork, carefully break up the egg whites and swirl them with the sauce.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top and continue to simmer gently for another 8-10 minutes, covering if necessary, until the whites are set and cheese is melted. Spoon into bowls, top with sour cream, parsley, and raw onions, and serve.
