Author Notes: Last week I whipped up shakshuka for dinner- an Israeli dish where eggs are poached in a tomato sauce- and it was awesome! And easy to boot. - What Jew Wanna Eat

Serves 2

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/2 summer squash, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
salt to taste
1 cup spinach
3 eggs
goat cheese
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

First up, saute your onions in olive oil and a pinch of salt for a 3-4 minutes until slightly soft.
Then add diced summer squash and garlic and cook until all ingredients are soft, or about two more minutes.
Next up add your spices – cayenne pepper, cumin and paprika- and stir up. Now add your tomatoes and red wine vinegar and simmer until thick, about 10-15 minutes. Adjust the seasonings if necessary. I like extra cayenne pepper!
Now add spinach and stir until it slightly wilts. Then crack eggs one at a time into a ramekin and gently pour into the shakshuka. This method helps the eggs keep their shape.
Cover with the pan top of foil and cook for 5-7 more minutes until the egg whites are set. Cook longer if you want the yolks set too.
Then top with goat cheese and chopped parsley and dig in! I ate mine right from the pan! Serve with pita to soak up all the tomatoey goodness.
