My favorite shakshuka recipe is made with tomatoes, red peppers, harissa, and feta cheese and is topped with perfectly poached eggs. Normally, this dish is made on the stovetop and it is quite difficult to ensure evenly cooked eggs. The Anova Precision Oven takes the guesswork out of the egg cookery process so that you can actually have your shakshuka eggs the way you like them.

3. Sauté Vegetables

While the eggs cook, make the sauce. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes.
