Shakshuka or Poor Man's Eggs

Kitchen, Breakfast

Preparation Time:

Note:
Shakshuka is the national dish of Israel. It is believed that Jews spread it around the world in the 1940s and 1950s. One of the influences on Cuban cuisine comes from its Jewish roots. If you take a closer look, it’s essentially the classic combination of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and eggs. It’s a popular dish with humble origins, which is why it's also known as "poor man’s eggs." Check out Chef Iván's recipe and let us know what you think.
Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 onion
  • 4 ripe fresh tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 bunch of fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon of hot sauce
  • ½ cup ofChef's Tomato Sauce
  • Olives
  • Olive oil
  • The text "Sal" does not provide enough context to determine a specific translation or meaning. It could refer to a name, a type of salt in Spanish ("sal"), or perhaps something else in a different context. If you could provide more context or additional text, I would be happy to assist with a more accurate translation
Instructions:

Dice the onion finely and crush the garlic. Also, dice the tomatoes and set them aside.

In a skillet, sauté the onions, garlic, and chorizo sliced into rounds. Once the onions become translucent, add the diced tomatoes, the sauce, and season with smoked paprika.

Mix all the ingredients well and cook, covered, over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. When the sauce starts to thicken, add the olives and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Cover it and let it cook for a couple more minutes before adding the eggs. For this process, we suggest cracking each egg separately. Make a space in the sauce to place each egg.

Cover the pot again and let the eggs cook using the residual heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
