White Bean Shakshuka – Virtual
Servings
2Serving size
1 egg with 1 cup sauceThe sauce keeps well. It’s best to reheat the sauce and cook the egg in it fresh (or just cook the egg separately – fried or scrambled will also be good). Reheating cooked eggs, even in the sauce, can make them overcooked and rubbery.

Instructions
Select a large and deep saute pan with a lid; set the lid aside for later.
Place the pan over medium-high heat.
Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan.
When the oil is hot, add the onion and bell pepper to the pan.
Cook until the vegetables are soft and browned about 7 to10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Add the minced garlic, tomatoes, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer.
Add the white beans to the skillet and stir.
Let the sauce simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.Stir occasionally.
While the sauce is simmering, prepare the garnishes - crumble the feta, chop the herbs, and slice the green onions.
Toast the bread until lightly browned either in a toaster, under a broiler, or on a grill.
When the toast is done, rub both sides with the garlic halves to make a quick and easy garlic bread for dipping.
Make 4 wells in the sauce with the back of a spoon.
Crack an egg into each well.
Cover the pan with lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes for runny egg yolks or until eggs are set to taste.
When eggs are cooked to desired doneness, top with feta and fresh herbs.
Serve with two baguette slices per serving.

Recipe Notes
Shakshuka is a great dish – perfect for a lazy weekend brunch or a simple weeknight meal. The addition of the white beans to this recipe really rounds out the dish and makes it a complete meal. The balance of the sweet, tangy, and umami tomato sauce with the herbs, sharp and umami feta, creamy eggs, and spicy red pepper flakes makes for a terrific dish.
You can serve this with a green sauce like chimichurri or salsa verde. It’s not perfectly traditional, but the herby flavors really complement the shakshuka.
