Notes
- Top with sliced avocados for an extra serving of healthy fats.
- This shakshuka recipe is naturally gluten-free but if you’d like for it to also be dairy-free, you can hold off the crumbled feta.
- You’ll need to make sure you are using an oven-friendly skillet as the shakshuka does go from stovetop to oven. A cast iron skillet would be the easiest pan to use.
- If you do not have an oven-friendly skillet, you can continue to cook on the stovetop, with a lid overtop to cook the eggs.
- Be sure to simmer your tomatoes long enough that the tomatoes are closer to the texture of a stew than runny. This makes it so when you make the wells for the eggs, they stay put.
