Ingredients and supplies:
For Shakshuka (this recipe calls for 6 eggs, which is a good amount for 3-4 people. Feel free to adjust quantities depending on how many you are cooking for):
- Olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 bell peppers, chopped (any color you have)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled, chopped
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- OPTIONAL: If you want to make green shakshuka, 2 cups of spinach
- Pinch red pepper flakes or fresh jalapeno pepper (optional – depending on how much you like spice, you can add more or less, and any hot pepper will do!)
- Salt and pepper
- 6 medium-large tomatoes, chopped (You can replace fresh tomatoes with canned stewed or chopped tomatoes – 40-50 oz., depending on the size of the can)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 large eggs
- Optional toppings: fresh parsley, cilantro, mint, scallions, chives, feta cheese
- Cutting board and knife
- Frying pan or large shallow pan, ideally with a cover, but not necessary
- Wooden spoon or other mixing spoon
For Pita (Makes 18 pitas. Pita freezes well, so plan to make the full recipe! If you don’t want to make pita, you can also buy a good crusty bread, or make your own):

- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
