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.
- 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

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
