Ingredients
- ½ onion
- ½ bell pepper (any color)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
- ½ Tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 egg
- ⅓ cup feta cheese
Instructions
- Dice the onion and bell pepper.
- Then, add the olive oil, diced onion and bell pepper to an oven-safe pot over medium heat. Saute while stirring with a wooden spoon until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Once the vegetables have softened, add the garlic and saute for 1 additional minute.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors combine.
- Gently crack eggs over the top of the pot, cover and simmer until the whites are set, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with feta and cool for 5 minutes prior to serving. (Alternatively, when you crack the eggs over the tomato sauce you can move the uncovered pot to the oven and bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set.)

Notes
- Serve Turkish Shakshuka with pita bread for scooping up the extra sauce.
