1 small bell pepper, finely chopped (use sweet bell peppers like red, yellow, or orange)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Crusty bread or pita for serving
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the Sauce and Spices:
Pour the Hungry BooTomato Basil Sauce into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine.
Add a pinch of cumin powder (if using) for extra flavour. These spices are optional and can be omitted for a milder taste.
Season with a little salt, adjusting to taste.
Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Add the Eggs:
Use a spoon to create small wells in the sauce for the eggs.
Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolk.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. For fully cooked yolks, cook for a few more minutes.
3. Garnish and Serve:
Once the eggs are cooked to your child's liking, remove the pan from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Serve the shakshuka with crusty bread or pita for dipping into the sauce and eggs.
