A twist on traditional shakshuka, this one uses lentils instead of beans and would make a wonderfully delicious and comforting dinner with a chunk of a baguette to sop up all the juices.

Ingredients

  • 1 yellow onion diced up
  • 3 cloves garlic smashed and chopped fine
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 1 7 oz can tomato paste
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 3.5 cups water
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • Cilantro to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Coat the bottom of an oven safe pan with the olive oil
  • Add the diced onion to it and saute for about 10 minutes
  • Then add in the garlic and stir
  • Add in the tomato paste, the diced tomatoes, the lentils and water and stir well
  • Place in the oven for 45-50 minutes (I checked on the lentils around the 35 minute mark and added a quarter cup of water - so just make sure to check on them so they don't run out of water)
  • Take pan out, make 4 "wells" and break eggs into the wells
  • Return to oven and let bake another 12-15 minutes, depending on how soft/hard you like your yolk.
  • Garnish and enjoy
