Shakshuka - شكشوكة The Algerian recipe (my way)

eggs

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: eggs

Tofu is lower in cholesterol and can be a budget-friendly protein alternative.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is nutritious, while vegetable oil is often cheaper.

Put a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic; let cook for about 3 minutes.

Add the peppers, parsley, and cilantro.

Add the seasoning of salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, turmeric, cumin, and crushed red pepper (optional).

Let cook for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Add the grated tomatoes, mix, and let it cook for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is reduced.

Adjust the seasoning, adding salt if needed.

Crack the eggs in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and quickly mix to just break the yolks.

Pour the eggs over the vegetables, reduce the heat to low, and let the eggs cook for a few minutes.

Turn off the heat and garnish with your choice of herbs.

Serve the shakshuka with your favorite type of bread.
