Yemeni Lahsa Recipe - Authentic Shakshuka Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Make sure the oil is hot before adding ingredients.
  2. Sauté Onions

    Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika, cooking for another minute.

    This enhances the flavor profile.
  4. Incorporate Tomatoes

    Add the diced tomatoes along with their juices and season with salt and pepper.

    Simmer for 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  5. Add Eggs

    Create small wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into each well.

    Cover the skillet to help the eggs cook evenly.
  6. Cook Eggs

    Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.

    For runny yolks, keep the cooking time shorter.
  7. Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

    Serve hot with crusty bread or pita.
