A little about this dish

This recipe brings a creative twist to traditional American brunch. Instead of the regular eggs and bacon, we're featuring beet in a unique and delightful way.

Preparation

Step 1 — 🍳🧅🫑

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper. Sauté until they soften.
Step 2 — 🥘🥣🔪

Mix in the peeled and grated large beets. Continue to cook the mixture for another 5-7 minutes.
Step 3 — 🍅🥫🌶️

Add the spices, which include 1 tsp each of paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Add 4 cups of canned diced tomatoes, then let the mixture simmer for around 10 minutes.
Step 4 — 🥘🥚⏲️

Create four small wells in the mixture. Crack a large egg into each well. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

A final fox tip

Shakshuka originates from North Africa but has been adopted by many cultures worldwide, it's a great way to incorporate veggies in the morning. Kids can safely help you mix ingredients and tear the parsley for garnish. Not a fan of beets? Replace it with your favorite seasonal vegetable.
