Coconut beef shakshouka with eggs

Coconut Beef Shakshouka with Eggs is a delightful twist on the traditional North African and Middle Eastern dish. The combination of rich flavors from the coconut oil, ground beef, and a variety of spices along with the sweetness from the peppers and tomatoes makes this a hearty and flavorful meal. This dish is perfect for any time of the day – be it breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Before starting, make sure all your ingredients are prepped. Finely chop the onions and serrano pepper, mince the garlic, and chop the bell pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: Add the finely chopped onion (72g) and minced garlic (3g) to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
4. Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it's browned and cooked through. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
5. Spice it Up: Stir in the ground cumin (1 tsp), paprika (1 tsp), and red pepper (½ tsp). Cook for another minute to let the spices bloom.
6. Add Peppers: Mix in the chopped serrano pepper (6g) and the chopped yellow or green bell pepper (190g). Sauté for about 5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
7. Combine Tomatoes: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (420g) and add 2 tablespoons of tomato paste (33g). Stir well to combine all ingredients. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
8. Season: Add a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well.
9. Make Wells for Eggs: Using a spoon, make four wells in the beef and tomato mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
10. Cook Eggs: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes for runny yolks or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
11. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with the extra finely chopped onion (70g) for added freshness and crunch.
12. Serve: Spoon the shakshouka onto plates, ensuring each serving has an egg. Enjoy hot straight from the pan with your favorite bread or side.

Tips:

- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavors, especially for the peppers and tomatoes.

- Be mindful of the heat level; adjust the amount of red pepper and serrano pepper according to your preference.

- Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the dish for even cooking.

- You can add some crumbled feta or goat cheese on top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.

- Serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

- Keep an eye on the eggs while they cook to ensure they remain perfectly runny or cook them to your desired level of doneness.
