Mexican Shakshuka Recipes

Steps:

• In a small cast-iron pan or dutch oven, add 2 tbsp of oil. Once hot, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant.
• Add the peppers and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until tender.
• Add tomatoes and let mixture cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the spices and salt/pepper to taste and continue to sauté for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Once the liquid from the tomatoes have cooked out and the tomatoes have a "jammy" consistency, crack 3-4 eggs on top. Garnish with your cheese of choice and cover. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are JUST poached and the yolks are still runny (cook for longer if you prefer the yolks to cook through).
• Garnish with salt & pepper, feta or cotija cheese, sliced avocado, green onions and cilantro and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo with mushrooms and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard fat.
• Combine diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir in the chorizo mixture and most of the crema, reserving a small amount to drizzle on top later. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew is the texture of a thick chili, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices and place on a baking sheet.
• Toast in the preheated oven, turning bread halfway, for 10 minutes.
• Fill a pot with water and add baking soda. Bring to a boil. Add eggs and boil for exactly 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Remove eggs and immediately place into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Remove shells.
• Place eggs into the chorizo stew to re-warm them. Top with queso fresco and drizzle with the remaining crema. Serve in bowls with pieces of toasted bread.

Steps:

• Bring salsa to a simmer in a large skillet. Make 4 indentations with a measuring cup and crack an egg into each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat; cook, covered, until whites are set, about 3 minutes. Top with crumbled cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.
