Description
A delicious shakshuka dish cooked in marinara sauce, topped with eggs and garnished with parmesan and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 (28 to 32-ounce) jar marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 to 8 large eggs
- Finely grated parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Chopped fresh parsley or basil, for garnish
- Crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
- In a wide, shallow skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and sliced garlic and sauté until softened and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and stir to coat.
- Add the marinara sauce to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Add the water to the now-empty marinara jar, shake and swirl to get any remaining sauce in the jar, and add to the pan as well.
- Bring the marinara mixture to a slight simmer, then turn the heat down to low.
- Working one at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl, then carefully add each one to the skillet.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the whites are just set and the yolks are jammy, about 8 minutes. If you want the yolks completely set, cook for another 2 minutes or so.
- Remove the pan from the heat.
- Taste the tomato sauce and season with more salt and pepper as desired.
- Spoon the eggs and tomato sauce into shallow bowls or plates.
- Serve garnished generously with parmesan cheese, parsley or basil, and a slice of crusty bread.
- This dish doesn’t store particularly well, but if you have leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge 1 to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a drizzle of fresh olive oil.
Notes
- This dish can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
- Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
- For a spicy kick, increase the red pepper flakes.
