Equipment

  • large baking sheet
  • large skillet with lid
  • Cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • mixing bowls
  • measuring cups and measuring spoons
  • Whisk
  • wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

For the Roasted Garlic Potatoes

  • ½ pound small Yukon Gold potatoes cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

For the Shakshuka

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounces white beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 large eggs

For the Lemon Tahini Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch salt

For Garnish

  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Freshly grated lemon zest

Instructions

  • Roast the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, toss the Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and fork-tender. Set aside.
  • Cook the vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
  • Add the aromatics and spices: Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  • Simmer the sauce: Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well to combine. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add the beans and potatoes: Stir the drained white beans and roasted potatoes into the tomato mixture. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  • Cook the eggs: Use the back of a spoon to make 4 to 6 small wells in the sauce. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness. For firmer egg tops, place the skillet under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes if your skillet is oven-safe.
  • Make the tahini sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, warm water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and drizzleable. Add a little extra water if needed to thin the sauce.
  • Finish and serve: Drizzle the lemon tahini sauce over the shakshuka. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro and a light sprinkle of freshly grated lemon zest. Serve warm with crusty bread or pita, if desired.
