Make small wells in the sauce. Make about four holes for each egg. Then pop in the eggs. Make sure to keep the egg-yolk solid. Then put on the lid, turn the flame to low, and let it cook until the eggs are properly cooked. However, make sure that the yolks are running. They taste delicious in Shakshuka. Other than that, it’s up to you. You can also fully cook them. Furthermore, use a handful of cilantro to top it off and serve with bread. Here we served it with garlic bread.
