Eggplant Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a North African dish in which eggs are softly poached in a spiced tomato sauce with peppers, onions, and garlic. While not necessarily traditional, we love adding eggplant, which adds a creamier texture. First, the Anova Precision Oven roasts the vegetables, charring them on top while softening them enough to melt into the sauce. Then, by adding some steam, the oven perfectly poaches the eggs, giving you a set egg white with a jammy egg yolk to stir into the sauce. The goat cheese adds a tangy flavor that works so well with the spiced tomato sauce and soft poached egg. Top it all off with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh cilantro, and smoked paprika for an incredible anytime of day meal. Notes: You can easily substitute the same amount of red pepper flakes instead of hot paprika as well as feta for goat cheese in this recipe. If you don’t have a 10-inch cast iron pan, use a square baking dish instead. This recipe uses Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
