Creating The Best Shakshuka is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it warm up.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
3. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Incorporate Tomatoes: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
5. Create Wells for Eggs: Use a spoon to create little wells in the tomato mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
6. Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro for an extra touch of flavor.
8. Serve: Scoop the shakshuka onto plates and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
