Description
Chachouka is a delicious vegetarian North African pepper and tomato stew that comes together in just a few minutes. Slightly spicy, light yet filling, and perfect for a quick lunch, supper or midnight snack.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into slices that are about 1/2-inch wide
- 2 cups homemade marinara sauce - OR - your favorite prepared marinara from a jar
- 4-8 eggs - depending on how many you want to serve per person. If people are quite hungry, serve 2 eggs per person. But, you'll be surprised at how filling a serving of this stew with just one egg is.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat olive oil in an oven proof skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a slightly golden. Add the garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute longer. Stir in the marinara sauce and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute longer.
- Remove the pan from the heat and make a slight indentation in the stew for each egg you plan to use. Crack the eggs in the indentations and sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper.
- Put the pan in the oven and cook for 14-16 minutes, just until the whites of the eggs are set.
