SUMMER TIME

Hello ladies and gents this is the viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is by far the easiest way to impress your guests at brunch. It's mildly spicy, full of flavor, and has perfectly runny eggs. The rich tomato sauce will balance those delicious Banana Pancakes you're whipping up too. 

YIELDS:
8 SERVINGS

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. large onion, sliced
  • 2 red bell peppers, sliced

 INSTRUCTIONS
  1.  Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions and cook until caramelized, 20 minutes. Add bell peppers and cook until soft, 5 minutes then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more. Pour in tomatoes, harissa, and spices and season with salt and pepper. Let simmer to thicken slightly, 10 minutes.
