Shakshuka is a delicious, tasty dish that works well for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This version with spinach, peppers, and onions gives extra nourishment and taste to the dish.

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 bell peppers (red or yellow), chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
100 g fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
1 teaspoon curry powder (optional, for extra flavor)
1 can stewed tomatoes (around 400 g)
4 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

FOR SERVING:

Fresh cilantro, chopped (parsley, or other fresh herbs of your liking)

Method:

Chop the onions, peppers, garlic and spinach.
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan (preferably with a lid) over medium heat.
Add the onions and peppers, and cook until soft.
Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and curry powder, if using.
Stir well and let simmer for a minute to release the flavors.
Put the chopped spinach in the pan and cook until wilted.
Pour the canned tomatoes over the vegetables and stir gently.
Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Make small wells in the sauce with a spoon, and crack an egg in each well. Be sure to distribute the eggs evenly.
Cover the pan and let the eggs soak in the sauce for approximately 5-8 minutes, or until the egg yolk is cooked according to your preference.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and freshly chopped cilantro or parsley over the dish.
This line isn't really necessary if they're specified chopped in the ingredients list
