Ingredients

1 large onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp smoked paprika
2 medium roasted red peppers, diced
1 can (400 g) diced tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
4 slices of whole wheat bread
2 tbsp olive oil
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
2
Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 4 tsp smoked paprika to the pan. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
3
Mix in the diced roasted red peppers, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and 2 tbsp tomato paste. Fill the empty tomato can halfway with water and add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
4
While the sauce is simmering, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
5
Prepare the garlic herb oil by combining 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp olive oil, chopped cilantro, and mint in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
6
Spread the garlic herb oil on the whole wheat bread slices and place them in the oven. Toast for about 10 minutes or until crispy.
7
Once the sauce has thickened, create wells in the sauce and crumble the feta cheese into each well.
8
Cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the feta is warm and slightly melted.
9
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shakshuka before serving.
10
Serve the shakshuka hot with the crispy whole wheat bread on the side.
