Ingredients


  • Olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced
  • 1 can (15 oz) golden hominy, drained
  • Spices
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 cup water

Directions


  1. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.  Add the onions and salt.  Sautee until they are clear, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the two peppers and the hominy.  Cook until the peppers begin to soften.
  3. Add the spices and mix for 1 minute.
  4. Add the crushed tomoatoes and water.  Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes.  Add more water if it's evaporating too quickly.
  5. Using a tablespoon, make 5 indentations into the shakshuka.  Crack 5 eggs into the skillet, one per indentation.
  6. Cover and simmer until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness, approximately, 5-10 minutes.
  7. Serve in a bowl.  Top with feta cheese and a side of toast.
