Shakshuka with Chickpeas & Feta | Possibly the BEST Shakshuka EVER
This Shakshuka with Chickpeas & Feta is what healthy comfort food is all about. We’re talking a ton of Mediterranean flavors, simple everyday ingredients, and all done in under 30 minutes using just one pan. Serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and always next to a crunchy baguette for a great meal.
To make this recipe, I used a combination of canned tomato sauce (passata) and canned diced tomatoes. You can also use canned whole tomatoes if you like. Just crush the tomatoes with a spatula once you add them into the pan.
For the chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), I used canned chickpeas. Just to make things quicker and easier. If you prefer, you can use dried chickpeas. Just soak them overnight in plenty of water and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: It took me about 5 minutes to perfectly cook the eggs. With the egg whites set and the yolks slightly creamy. It might take you more or less. Just keep an eye on the eggs as they are cooking.

Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
-
While the oil is heating, finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, and finely chop the red bell pepper

Add the chopped ingredients into the hot fry pan, mix together, then mix every minute so it all evenly sautes

-
After 10 minutes and the tomatoes have slightly thickened, crack in the eggs, all evenly spaced out, just create little pockets so the eggs perfectly sit in there, season the eggs with sea salt & black pepper, then place a lid on the pan and lower to a low-medium heat, simmer for 5 minutes or until the egg whites are set but you still have slightly creamy yolks, then remove from the heat
