    Step 7:

  • Lightly sauté the peeled onion, sliced into half-rings, in olive oil, then add a little water and keep it over medium heat, stirring often, until the water evaporates. Cook for about 10 minutes, adding water 6–7 times as it cooks off. You should end up with a soft, cream-colored mass. Cut a shallow cross in each tomato and dip them in boiling water for a few seconds. Peel off the skins and dice the flesh. Add the tomatoes to the onion, along with the diced bell pepper and the hot chili pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt, add a touch of sugar, and stir in the cumin and herbs. You'll get something like a vegetable jam. Now carefully crack the eggs onto the vegetables, keeping the yolks intact. Salt the whites but not the yolks — salt will leave spots on the yolks. Keep the shakshuka over the heat, uncovered, until the eggs are set.
