Jazmaz ~ Syrian Shakshuka

Iris Warren

Report

Jazmaz, a tradtional Syrian entree made of eggs poached in a chile-tomato sauce, is comfort food at its finest. Made with ingredients that you probably have—eggs, a couple of tomatoes, a handful of spices, and some black olives—we love this any time of day.

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook it with the onion for 2 minutes more, stirring so that the garlic doesn't burn.
Stir in the chile, diced tomatoes and their juices, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce until it thickens and reduces a bit, about 7 minutes.☞ TESTER TIP: If your tomatoes were not particularly juicy and the sauce seems a bit dry, pour in up to 1/4 cup of water.
With a spoon, make four little wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each so that the sauce surrounds each one. Cover and cook to your desired doneness, about 6 minutes for soft eggs with runny yolks.
Serve in the skillet, garnished with chopped parsley and sliced olives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This is delicious eaten with warm bread.
