Amount Of Ingredients Needed | Ingredient |
1 Tablespoon | Olive Oil |
1 Medium | Onion, Cut Into 1-Inch Wide Strips |
1 | Green Bell Pepper, Cut Into 1-Inch Wide Strips |
1 | Garlic Clove, Minced |
1 (28 Ounce) | Can Crushed Tomatoes |

How To Make Shakshuka's
In a large sauté pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the onions and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, cilantro, salt, black pepper, and sriracha. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes to let the flavors blend together.
Break 1 egg into a wine glass. Gently pour the egg into the pan along the outer edge. Repeat with the remaining 5 eggs so a circle is formed with the eggs along the outer edge of the pan. reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook until eggs are poached about 6 minutes.
Refrigerate: Place the shakshuka in 6 individual containers, each including one egg topped with sauce. Store for up to 5 days. Reheat the microwave for 1 minute and let it cool for 2 minutes to allow the heat to evenly distribute.
Quick Tip - Have extra sauce for your shakshuka? Use it over baked or grilled chicken or fish.

Preparing healthy and delicious meals 3 times a day can be so hard with everything else you have going on in your life.

Benefits Of Meal Prepping
Save Money
By making a meal plan, you’ll be able to waste a lot less food. When you go food shopping, you’ll just buy exactly what you need and won’t be tempted to overspend. Plus, by preparing your own healthy recipes, you’ll save a great deal of money rather than eating out.
Save Time
By spending a few hours chopping fresh veggies and cooking at the weekend, you’ll have more time during the busy week to relax and worry less about what you need to put on your table.
Eat Healthy Meals Every Day
The hungrier you are, the more tempted you get to eat unhealthy food. By meal prepping you’ll know what you are eating every day by cooking healthy food ahead of time. This ensures that you are getting the proper vitamins and nutrients your body needs.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be amazed at how a bit of organization can make your life so much easier, and you’ll just ask yourself why you didn’t do this sooner!

My Favorite Meal Prep Containers
I love containers that are made of glass. You can see what’s in them. They can be used in microwaves, and they won’t release any chemicals at hot temperatures as plastic containers can.
Meal Prep Bowls with dividers: I love these when I want to separate ingredients, like fruits and nuts from my main meal.
Mason Jars: For salads, overnight oats, and chia puddings.
Glass Bottles: Perfect for soups or smoothies on the go!
