Lazy Sunday Shakshuka for Freelancers and Dream Chasers
Hey there, fellow hustlers and dreamers! If you’re here, you probably know what it’s like to chase down your goals with the enthusiasm of a hyper-caffeinated squirrel. We all want to make a little extra cash on the side, right? Combining the hustle of making money online with the simplicity of cooking up a delightful breakfast (or brunch) is where it’s at! Enter: my Lazy Sunday Shakshuka. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s almost as satisfying as waking up to an inbox full of payment confirmations from your online gigs. Whether you’re plotting your next big venture or just want a break from microwaving last night’s ramen, this dish is a game changer.
Ingredients: What You’ll Need
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Crusty bread or pitas, for serving
Step-by-Step Magic
- In a Skillet, We Begin: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they’re translucent. Toss in that garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the Heat: Stir in your diced red bell pepper and let it cook down a bit, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Enjoy the aroma before it oils up your phone from all that Instagramming!
- Tomatoes Time: Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Season it up with salt and pepper, then let it simmer. While it’s doing its thing, you can reply to some DMs and line up a few freelance gigs.
- An Egg-cellent Finish: Create little wells in the sauce with a spoon. Crack an egg into each well and cover the skillet. Let them poach in the deliciousness until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-8 minutes.
- Final Touches: Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve it hot with crusty bread or pitas for sopping up every last bit of that saucy goodness.
