How To Make Israeli Shakshuka

admin May 19, 2023

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE ISRAELI SHAKSHUKA

1 green jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1 large onion, diced
26 1⁄2 ounces Pomi brand chopped tomatoes
2 red bell peppers, diced
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 extra large ripe tomatoes, chopped
6 large eggs
black pepper, to taste
kosher salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS TO MAKE ISRAELI SHAKSHUKA

Step 1

Sauté onions in olive oil until opaque and tender in a large nonstick deep sauté pan with a cover.

Step 2

Red bell pepper should be added and sauteed until soft.

Step 3

Once the tomatoes are breaking apart, reduce the heat to low.

Step 4

The majority of the sauce should remain in the carton when adding the chunkiest parts of the “Pomi”. Add the jalapeno now, as well.

Step 5

The sauce can be added slowly, as needed, to prevent the mixture from becoming dry. It should take about 30-40 minutes to cook, covered partially, and stirred every once in a while.

Step 6

Approximately 1-1 1/2 inches high, the result should look like a bunch of tomatoes stuck together.

Step 7

Taking care not to overlap the whites, set the yolks about four finger widths apart on top of the shakshuka.

Step 8

During the final 20 minutes of simmering, cover tightly with a lid.
