How To Make Hairy Bikers Shakshuka Recipe

1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until soft, about 5–7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and spices: Stir in sliced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Simmer the sauce: Pour in the canned tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
4. Poach the eggs: Make small wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each. Cover the pan and cook for 5–8 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
5. Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Top with crumbled feta and fresh herbs. Serve immediately with warm bread or pita.
