Sardine Shakshuka Skillet

Ingredients: 

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, unsalted butter, or vegetable oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced, or 1 teaspoon jarred minced garlic
• 2 (14-oz.) cans crushed or pureed tomatoes, or canned tomato sauce
• 2 cans sardines, drained and lightly mashed
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large eggs
• Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, optional, for garnish
• Toast or cooked white rice, for serving

Method:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
2. Add tomatoes, sardines, paprika, salt and pepper, and bring mixture to a simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Make small wells in tomato sauce mixture and carefully crack eggs into each well. Cover pan and cook until egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove from heat, and garnish with parsley. Serve with toast for dipping or over rice.

Tip:

Add chopped kale or spinach to sauce before adding eggs for extra fiber and flavor.
