Cooking with Allison: Shakshouka for breakfast

This week on Cooking with Allison, I am sharing an impressive breakfast recipe called Shakshouka. It sounds super fancy, but it is easy to make. 

This dish has a tomato base with a ton of spices, and you crack eggs in the sauce and they poach beautifully. Serve with crispy bread and you have a delicious and easy breakfast. 

The good news is you most likely have most of the ingredients at home. 

Ingredients

  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 1/2 onion
  • Hard chorizo
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. Cumin
  • 1 tsp. Onion powder
  • 3/4 tsp. Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. Chili powder
  • 1 clove garlic
  • Canned crushed tomatoes (28 oz. can)
  • 4 eggs
  • Feta cheese
  • Cilantro
