To peel the tomatoes, use a sharp knife and make a crosswise incision. Place in boiling water for one minute, and shock in ice water. Remove the skins easily.
Medium dice the tomatoes.
Mince 4 cloves of garlic and slice ½ of a hot pepper.
Heat 70 grams (2.5 oz) of olive oil or another vegetable oil and add the garlic.
Add the hot pepper and the tomatoes.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt, or to your preference. 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika and a pinch teaspoon black pepper. Simmer on low heat for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Carefully crack 4 eggs into the tomato stew and cook for 3 – 4 minutes on low heat. The yolk should stay runny while the egg white is fully cooked. Sprinkle with a little pinch of salt and black pepper.
Serve with lots of homemade bread to dip in the Shakshouka!
