Shakshouka Eggs cooked in Tomato Sauce

 

  1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet with olive oil over medium heat. Once oil begins to smoke, add tomatoes and blister for 1 minute, until golden brown. Add onions, garlic, peppers, Jerusalem artichokes, and fava beans. Cook over high heat for 2 minutes, until vegetables are just tender.
  2. Add tomato sauce and salt. Bring to simmer, then crack eggs into different areas of pan. Cover and cook until egg whites have set but yolk is still runny.
  3. Remove lid and remove pan from heat. Top with sliced green onions, a dollop of green chili zhoug, and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with warm pita bread.
