  • First, prep the ingredients: peel the onion, rinse it in cool water, blot it dry with a paper towel, and cut it however you like — into half-rings or small dice. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them. Wash and dry the green bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds, and cut it into small squares. Wash and pat dry the tomatoes (they should be ripe and juicy), then cut them into cubes. Rinse the eggs and wipe them dry. Rinse the fresh parsley and mint, lay them out to dry, then coarsely chop them. Set out everything else you'll need: spices, olive oil, salt, sugar, and tomato sauce. Now you're ready to cook: 1. Set a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and let it warm up. Add the onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and the spices. Cook everything together, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft. 2. Add the chopped tomatoes, the sugar, and the tomato sauce. Stir, lower the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes. Taste and adjust the salt, sugar, or spices as needed. 3. Using a wooden spoon, make 6 wells in the mixture and gently crack an egg into each. Cover and cook over low heat until the whites are set and firm. 4. Uncover, scatter the fresh herbs over the top, and season with black pepper and any other spices you like. Serve the shakshuka hot. Enjoy!
