Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 4 ounces chorizo, sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 4-6 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the chopped red bell pepper and sliced chorizo to the skillet, and cook until the chorizo is browned and the peppers are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the ground cumin, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.

- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot, with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
Shakshuka, a North African and Middle Eastern dish, has a rich history dating back to the Ottoman Empire. This flavorful and hearty dish traditionally consists of poached eggs in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce. The addition of chorizo, a Spanish pork sausage seasoned with paprika and garlic, adds a smoky and savory twist to this classic dish. Renowned chefs and restaurants in Israel, Morocco, and Spain have put their own unique spin on Shakshuka, incorporating local ingredients and spices. The best version of this dish can be found in the bustling markets of Tel Aviv, where the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean come alive. The key to a perfect Shakshuka with chorizo lies in the balance of spices and the freshness of the ingredients. It's important to get the richness of the tomato and pepper sauce just right, and to use high-quality chorizo for that authentic smoky flavor. For a famous alternative method, some chefs recommend baking the eggs in the sauce for a slightly different texture and presentation. Whether enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dinner, Shakshuka with added chorizo is a delightful fusion of flavors that is sure to satisfy any palate.
