How To Make shakshouka with tomatoes and eggplant

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, brush eggplant with 1 1/2 tbsp. oil. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt. Roast until soft and golden, turning once halfway through baking - approx. 25 minutes. Remove and coarsely chop - combine with 2 tbsp. mint.
  • 2
    Increase oven temp to 425 degrees. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in an ovenproof skillet on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring until beginning to brown on edges - watch garlic careful to prevent burning.
  • 3
    Stir in paprika, cumin and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and their juice and the tomato puree; cook until tomatoes break down, stirring occasionally about 15 minutes. Add eggplant mixture and cook 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.
  • 4
    Remove from heat. With spoon, create 4 indentations in sauce. Crack in eggs into indentations. Transfer pan to oven and cook until the egg whites are set, but the yolks are still runny approx. 5-7 minutes. Top with feta cheese and remaining mint. Serve with pita bread, if desired.
