Breakfast for dinner! Shakshuka is an easy, healthy breakfast dish originating from North Africa and the Middle East. It's a simple combination of simmering tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, spices and traditionally gently poached eggs. Eggs can be replaced with sliced tofu or cooked beans to make this one pan meal.

1 bell pepper, seeded and diced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 (28oz) can whole peeled tomatoes or diced no-salt added
salt and pepper, to taste

Wash your produce. In a medium pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and spices. Stir and cook 30 seconds.
Add the tomatoes and juice into the pan and break down the tomatoes with the back of a large spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer.
For the eggs: Use your large spoon to make small wells in the sauce. Crack the eggs into each well and cook until the eggs are done.
For the tofu or cooked beans: add sliced tofu OR cooked beans to the pan and simmer until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with cilantro and parsley, if using. Serve with love!
