During our time in Vancouver, we tried lots of delicious restaurants, one being Medina – famous for its brunch.
The long line was worth the wait on a cold dreary morning and all I was craving was a hot beverage and a comforting pot of something warm and delicious. One bite into the tagine (a close cousin to the North African dish known as “shakshuka”) and the smoky, intense flavors in the tomato sauce, I was hooked!
I got to work recreating this dish once we returned home.
This 30-minute, 1-pot meal starts with a mixture of onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Next comes tomato puree (or diced tomatoes) and tomato paste for plenty of rich, hearty flavor.
Seasonings can practically be whatever you have in your pantry, but I felt that cumin, chili powder, paprika, cayenne, coriander, and cardamom worked best, giving the dish a smoky, earthy, rich, and comforting flavor.
Next comes cooked chickpeas and olives to provide a little more saltiness and substance. Plant protein to the rescue!
This dish is quite amazing. It’s:
Smoky
Tomato-y
Rich
Hearty
Spicy
Comforting
Vegetable-forward
Protein- & fiber-rich
& Insanely easy to make!
This is the type of plant-based meal that can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. From what I gather, shakshuka is traditionally a baked egg dish, but I swapped in chickpeas for the protein. Serve with toasted bread, flatbread, or over rice, cauliflower rice, or gluten-free pasta of choice! I think this pairs especially well with my Garlicky Chickpea Kale Salad.

1-Pot Chickpea Shakshuka
Ingredients
SHAKSHUKA
- 1 Tbsp olive or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup diced white onion or shallot
- 1/2 medium red bell pepper (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (3 cloves yield ~1 1/2 Tbsp)
- 1 28-ounce can tomato puree OR diced tomatoes with salt
- 3 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup (or stevia to taste)
- Sea salt to taste
- 2 tsp smoked or sweet paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 pinch each cardamom and coriander (optional)
- 1 1/2 15-ounce cans cooked chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
- 4-5 whole kalamata or green olives (optional // pitted and halved)
FOR SERVING optional
- Lemon wedges
- Bread (gluten-free or this recipe or flatbread)
- Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
- Rice or cauliflower rice
- Brown rice pasta (I love Trader Joe's organic brand with quinoa)
Instructions
-
Heat a large rimmed metal or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and fragrant.
-
Add tomato puree or diced tomatoes, tomato paste, coconut sugar, sea salt, paprika, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (optional), cardamom, and coriander (optional). Stir to combine.
-
Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. If you're OK with a chunkier texture, leave as is. Or, scoop 3/4 of the sauce in the blender and blend until smooth for a creamier result!
-
Add chickpeas and olives (optional). Stir to combine. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and marry with the beans.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more cumin or paprika for smokiness, cayenne for heat, coconut sugar for sweetness, cardamom and coriander for earthiness (or slight curry flavor), or chili powder for smoke/heat.
-
Serve as is or with bread, pasta, or rice. I loved this alongside a kale salad, and it went especially well over gluten-free pasta! Garnish with fresh lemon juice, additional olives, and cilantro or parsley for extra flavor (optional).
-
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop until completely warmed through.

Really tasty! My husband and I are looking for recipes that we can easily make while we full-time in our RV – using canned goods, dried beans, etc. This is a definite keeper served over brown rice. I knocked off a star because the recipe did need some changes as pointed out in other reviews, such as doubling the spices and cutting back/leaving out the tomato paste. I also picked up two great tips in the reviews: 1) Capers can sub in for the olives quite nicely and 2) a drizzle of tahini proves that chickpeas+tahini is a perfect combo outside of hummus, too.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Another excellent recipe. Everyone loved it! Super easy to make. Smells amazing too. Thanks Dana. I used to have fear and be ashamed of my cooking but your simple recipes have helped me get over this!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Eliza!
Very tasty recipe! I left out the cayenne so our toddler could eat it and added it to my own dish.
However, we found it very tomato paste-y so I’d probably use 1 Tbsp instead of 3.
Otherwise looking forward to making it again. Thanks for your recipes Dana!!
I made this yesterday for dinner, used fresh tomatoes rather than canned, pressure cooked dry chickpeas. I didn’t have cardamom but ground some coriander. Served with small Greek salad and fresh sweet corn. Worked out very well, great healthy recipe, easy to make.
Thanks so much for the lovely review and for sharing your modifications, Errol. We are so glad you enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! Xo
This recipe delivers on all promises! Super-unbelievably-speedy, smoky, sweet and delicious.
So glad you enjoyed it, Hannah! Thanks so much for the lovely review!
This is so delicious 😋 I made it spicier and added more beans to make it heartier and to up the protein factor. I’m not good at creating dishes on my own and am thankful for wonderful people like you who do and share it with the world. So thanks!
Aww thanks so much for the lovely review, Lillian! We are so glad you enjoyed it! xo
Made this for dinner tonight and it turned out delicious! Didn’t have an onion so I used some onion powder and it still turned out great!
Will totally make this again.
SO glad you enjoyed it, Adi! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
Wow! So amazing!! Not hard to make and so tasty!! I had a leftover half can of crushed tomato so just diced and salted a large tomato which made enough and this combo worked perfectly! I think it also helped to get a good balance between chunky and smooth. The seasonings/spices in this are perfect and make it so good! It definitely has quite a strong, rich flavour but nothing is overpowering and it’s perfect for chickpeas. Will definitely make this again!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Tim! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m eating this now, and wow, it is delicious! I made several modifications based on the other reviews and what I had on hand. I added about a cup of green beans and a couple of shredded carrots in with the peppers and onions. Doubled all of the spices (including the garlic) and added them with the onions and peppers. Added a couple of tablespoons of curry powder. Used 4 big tomatoes pureed in my food processor instead of canned. After cooking squeezed in the juice of half a lemon and a handful of chopped cilantro. Eating it with some toasted seedy whole wheat bread. So good!! This is definitely going into the regular rotation. Thanks for the recipe!
Your modifications sound lovely, Ashley! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
This was very easy to make and was delicious. After reading some of the reviews, I measured some of the spices heaping. I also added a heaping 1/4 tsp of curry powder in place of the cardamom and coriander since curry powder is mostly those spices anyway. I think the diced tomatoes can be halved or at least just do one 14 oz can of diced and a couple chopped tomatoes.
Great recipe! Handy hint, if you put the spices in first with the onion and let them fry a couple of minutes until fragrant before adding tomatoes, it brings out the wonderful smokiness and flavours even more 😉
xo!
Delicious, easy and yet impressive! I used 2 cans of chickpeas…why not. It’s summer so I served it over mixed greens. It will become a staple in my repertoire.
Very easy and quick recipe. But if you follow it exactly it tastes like a plain can of tomato puree. I would suggest adding way more spice and more olives.
Hi Megan, Glad you found it quick and easy! Is it possible that your spices weren’t fresh? If so, we would recommend swapping out for fresh or try doubling next time. Hope that helps!
I love how little time this took to cook! The flavors that embalmed the whole house were delicious. I’ve added celery which added a nice crunchy texture to the dish, but didn’t have olives, coconut sugar and cumin. It tasted really good. I’ve served it with Greek pilaf and Greek roast potatoes for the lemon flavor.
Thanks for sharing! Next time would you mind adding a rating to your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers! xo
I made this, I added chicken!! It was amazing!! And the picky hubby loved it too!!
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Melina. We are so glad you and your hubby enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! xo
Why did you not post my review?
Hi Andrew, your review is posted. It’s at the top of the comment section.
This is now one of my favorite uses for chickpeas! I didn’t have bell pepper, so I subbed in jalapeños. Also used honey instead of maple syrup. After tasting at the end, I added extra paprika (both sweet and smoked), cinnamon, and cayenne. I didn’t have anything ready-made to serve on the side, but luckily, the shakshuka ended up being enough on its own! Will be making again.
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Brandi!
Just made this for a quick dinner, exactly to the recipe, and it was easy to make and absolutely delicious. Served it over rice with some avocado and greens with cucumber dressed with a lemon honey vinaigrette on the side. It was an awesome meal!
I LOVE THIS RECIPE!!!! I leave out the cumin. I love the addition of coriander! I eat with fresh challah from the farmer’s market or make a side of quinoa cooked in vegetable broth. Definitely add the fresh squeezed lemon and cilantro! ❤️
I don’t like to use canned ingredients, so wondering if I can blanch and peel fresh tomatoes instead. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks.
Hi Amy, we haven’t tried that, but we think it should work! Let us know if you give it a try!
This was SO delicious and exactly the flavour profile of the shakshouka’s I’ve had in the Middle East. Didn’t modify at all, just used a bit more olive oil at the beginning and added an extra 1/2 can or chickpeas – yum! This will definitely be a regular on the rotation. Thank you Minimalist Baker!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe, Kelly! Thanks for the lovely review! xo
Super quick & easy to make. I also added green bean and mushrooms to have more fiber. This recipe will be my regular dish from now on.
I just made it and its so yummy omg, I’m definitely making it again for my family. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the lovely review, Perla. We are so glad you enjoyed it! Next time, would you mind leaving a rating with your review? It’s super helpful for us and other readers. Thanks so much! xo
Very good, thank you Dana! I included a can of lite coconut milk in place of coconut sugar. I also added many, many kalamata olives.
I recommend using Hemisfares smoked Spanish paprika. My tastebuds must be shot because I had to add more paprika, cayenne and kalamata olives directly to my plate to create a nice INTENSE flavor.
A tasty, warm, satisfying and delightfully simple dinner to make. After checking my pantry I googled “chickpea dinner” and this recipe popped up. I recognized “minimalist baker” as often recommended on “Plant Strong Fitness” Facebook group so I decided to follow the recipe as written, except I was out of chili pepper (added a wee bit more cayenne) and I don’t cook with salt. I enjoyed how easy it was almost as much as I enjoyed the meal. OX 😋
Wow ! This recipe is amazing. Thank you so much 😁
Delicious, quick, and cheap recipe–perfect for my grad student budget! I upped the amount of chili powder, omitted the olives, and added a sprinkle of your vegan parm on top; served it aside a slice of farmhouse bread with vegan butter and it was *kisses fingers like an Italian chef*
I’ll definitely be adding this to my regular weeknight dinner rotation; thanks for the recipe!
This shakshuka was delicious! Such a great and simple recipe. Lots of flavour and filling protein. I used a few leftover chickpeas and added a can of black beans for the rest of the protein. Served on rice it worked pretty well.
This recipe was absolutely incredible! I did it without olives and it was still very tasty. I would keep some of the liquids from any canned ingredients you use, because the mixture cooks down quite a bit, so you can add some more flavor and it will thin out. I personally thought was more enjoyable with a thinner texture. 10/10 recommended!!!!
Amazing! I put some carrots as well and a little bit more cayenne since my boyfriend and I really like it spicy. It was soooooo delicious! Will definitely make it again. Thank you!
Absolutely delicious, as always! I think we must have the same taste buds, but you have the creative brain to think up these amazing recipe ideas! Can’t wait for left overs for lunch tomorrow.
I never follow recipies and like to play in the kitchen, but quite often it results in my disappointment. I to decided to follow your recipe, reducing the amount of chilli (which I love, but I have two toddlers, so it could be a bit too much). It was A_M_A_Z_I_N_G! I’ve cooked it with eggs, next time I will do it with chickpeas, I can already imagine how nice it will be.
I do have a question to you though. How do you create recipes? I mean I quite often just put spices straight from the pack, not really controlling the exact amounts I add. And I feel that this is where I fail. You probably have tons more of experience in knowing what does and doesn’t combine well or which flavours are more overpowering etc. But do you actually try it a few times, adding with the spoon? I’m curious, is it something one can learn?
Amelia
Forgot to mention… the fact that I can make it in 30 minutes is a real plus!
Perfect!!! Loved this!! I added the garlic closer to the end of sauteing only because I don’t like over cooked garlic. Used maple syrup and not quite as called for. Also some curry (1tsp). It added more depth for me but was still good without. Making it again tonight!! Had it with Couscous. Yum
I have just made this for dinner and it was delicious!
I usually make chickpea curry but wanted to try something else with chickpeas and this did not disappoint!
I really didn’t have much in the house so made this without olives and peppers, I also just used light brown sugar. Despite this it was still lovely and I served it with paratha (buttery indian flatbread).
My husband also loved it and I will for sure make it again. Thank you! your recipes are always easy and so good to make.
My husband made this for dinner tonight, and it was amazing. All the wonderful smells while it was cooking made it even better. Thank you for sharing such an awesome recipe.
We have never had Shakshuka, made this for dinner last night and followed the recipe fairly close. I doubled the recipe other than I subbed shallots for 1 decent sized onion & used 2 cans of chickpeas & omitted the olives. I did add the ‘optional’ cayenne, corriander & cardamom. I blended 3/4 of the sauce for a creamier consistency before adding the chickpeas. We decided to heat/broil pita bread with a bit of evoo, asiago & garlic sea salt to go w/Shakshuka. Once finished cooking we squeezed fresh lemon juice to the top of the dish & atop our pita bread and all I can say is YUM! Family of 4 (some of us omni) & everyone loved it – even my 9 & 12 yr old. The youngest added a touch of sour cream bc she is unable to handle heat/flavor like the rest of us. The dish wasn’t hot or spicy, just nice flavor. Definitely added to our list of rotation! Thank you!
I made this, bloody delicious! Used smoked paprika, and only had one can of tomatoes, but so good. Added some mushrooms and carrots too. 10/10 will make again!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Sophie!
This was delicious, was trying to figure out what I could makmake wi the ridiculous amount of cans of chickpeas I had in my cabinet. Was running out of ideas. My fiance and I demolished this and took some to work as leftovers.
I did add two things though, bay leaf and some Worcestershire sauce along with your original suggestions. Oh and I only had red onion.
I served it over couscous with a slice of lime. Sublime!
Great recipe! The sauce was very delicous, sweet and gently spicy. Thank you :)
We have been trying to reduce our consumption of meat products for both health and environment issues. Our quest to find tasty and wholesome alternatives is both fun and entertaining. This recipe is a 2 thumbs up. Tasty, nutritous, satisfying. I would not hesitate for a moment to serve this dish with my meat eater friends, even in the hunting camp.
Loved this recipe. So quick to make and super flavourful. My 3-year old daughter liked it with both rice and naan. I did blend 3/4 of the sauce which made it a great consistency. I will make this again and could add whatever other veggies I have in the fridge!
Whoop! Thanks for sharing, Betsy!
I’ve made this recipe twice, so far. The first in a cast iron pan and the second time, in an insta pot. I was out of chili seasoning but substituted cumin and few other spices. I also made them both with diced organic tomatoes. I enjoy the bit of texture. I also used dried garbanzo beans which had been reconstituted (thank you instapot).
Both came out delicious and were a big hit for dinner. I omitted the olives the second time (I didn’t have any)and didn’t miss the brine. My husband, who always asks for a traditional protein, had NO complaints. This has become a winter favorite and I’m thrilled to find a vegetarian dish that’s not chili and, not soy based. Thanks for the amazing dinner (and tomorrow’s lunch).
Whoop! Thanks for sharing your experience, Karen! We’re glad you and your husband enjoyed it!
Yum – just made this. So easy and delicious. I used 2 cans of chickpeas rather than 1.5, and added a little spinach for color. 👍😋
Great! Thanks for sharing :D
It was soooooo good. We just stuffed our faces literally.
This was 5 stars for me and my daughter. Well done to you.
We loved the balance of the spices, and will actually add a little more cardamom next time. We also had some tahini drizzled over a small portion to test it. And it worked beautifully. Almost like a cheese. This is going into a regular rotation. Thank you so much.
I stumbled across your recipe looking for a yummy way to use the chickpeas I’d prepared and it didn’t disappoint.
I omitted the spicy stuff (darn kids) and increased the chickpeas, and ended up adding eggs as per shakshuka and the kids gobbled it up.
I’ll be saving this one for sure.
Great! We’re glad you enjoyed it, Katy!
Made the recipe as written except to include both kalmata and green olives. It was a huge hit. So flavorful and perfect for a cool autumn night!
Great! Thanks for sharing, Laurie!
I made this dish for the evening meal for 3 adults and 6 grandchildren. I have been trying to slip in a more healthy meal. This was great. I served it with thin pasta and they all commented on how good it was. There were several fussy eaters in the group and they all ate all their meal. I plan on using this again because the spices used were wonderful and nothing was overpowering.
Great! Thanks for sharing, Betty!
I’m going to make this with fresh tomatoes how many or cups should I use?
~3 cups!
I added extra chickpeas and capers. It was amazing!
Yum!
Outstanding! I’ve lost track of how many Minimalist Baker recipes I’ve used at this point.
I started with a water sauté of the onion since I cook oil-free. Used 2/3 recommended garlic just fine. I don’t like excessively sweet foods and used 2/3 of the amount of sweetener called for (I used date syrup since I don’t use sugar) and next time I think I’ll cut back to 1/2 the recommended sweetener. I also replaced half the chickpeas with eggplant and did a 1:1 replacement of paprika for chili powder to accommodate my best-wife’s delicate palate. At the table, I added chili paste to my bowl which worked fine.
The use of soft/silken tofu to replace is a master stroke! Even when I was an omnivore, I never liked the smell of poached/boiled eggs. I put an ice cream scoop’s worth of soft tofu on top to pay homage to the spirit of a poached egg recipe and it was terrific. The delicate texture and flavor of the tofu in the mouth as it mixed with the shakshuka stew was wonderful. Even if I ate eggs, I think I’d prefer the soft-tofu.
Highest endorsement is that sometimes picky best-wife was back for seconds! This is going into the regular rotation! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your recipe changes, John! We are so glad you and your wife enjoyed this dish :D
Great recipe – just threw this together tonight. Quick and easy. I didn’t have chickpeas on hand (bad vegan!) I used white kidney beans instead. Vegan Husband approved! Thanks again Dana!
Whoop!
I have made this recipe a few times. It is so delicious! Everyone I make it for absolutely loves it, even if they are not vegan. You always have the best recipes so I was not surprised when this was incredible!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Kristen! :)
It was simple to follow using ingredients i had on hand (and i didn’t have to make any specialty mixes, like berber spice). I felt the tomato presence was too strong, and the spice not strong enough. So i added more spice by way of (ahem) home made berber and a pinch of jamaican curry. Yeah. I know. Weird but it worked! Maybe it’ll be more balanced as it sits.
Holy moly – this is next level delicious and will definitely be in my rotation of go-to dinner recipes. My husband recently transitioned to a strict vegan diet, and I’ve been trying to find tasty things for us both to enjoy together. This one passed the test. :-) Thanks for sharing for creations!
I love shakshuka and was eager to try this chickpea version. I thought the recipe could use less sugar than what is called for. I put in the recommended amount and found that the sugary taste dulled the taste of all the beautiful spices. I ended up having to add more of all the other spices, as well as some berbere seasoning, to make the sugar fade in the background instead of being the first flavor to come through. I’d like to try making this again but will start with 1/4 tb sugar. As written, I’m giving the recipe three stars because I had to make too many modifications from the original recipe (but I do love many of the other recipes on this site prepared as-is so this one is an outlier).
Was there a previous version you had posted of this recipe? I recall it being different from the last time I made it about 6 months ago. I was really hoping to try that one again as I didn’t love this one as much. Can you tell me what the differences are?
Sounds delicious, but I’d call it a middle eastern inspired chili, rather than shakshuka.
This is the best! Both my husband and I make this at home, we take it to gatherings, and we serve it to company. The sauce is rich and delicious and it’s unique, flavorful, and easy to make. We top it with tahini and serve it with French bread or naan. Always a hit!
Whoop! We are glad you and your husband enjoyed it, Brooke!
Thanks for the great recipe idea! I made this for breakfast today and loved it! I toyed with the spices as suggested and the flavor profile was rich and complex. It was definitely different from my usual breakfast foods, but I enjoyed cooking something new! I’m excited to try making it with eggs as well.
Hi Krystal! We’re glad you enjoyed it for breakfast!
Simply delicious !!! :)
My meat & potatoes husband actually liked it (unless he was being polite because he didn’t want to beat something else up ;-) I thought it was very yummy. loved the spices!
Glad to hear you and your husband enjoyed it, Jane!
What are cooked chickpeas? Are the canned ones in the grocery store already cooked? They’re the only ones I see. Thanks.
Yes, canned or cooked from dried beans will work as well.
All you taste is tomato paste, not a good recipe by any stretch of the imagination.
Hi John, sorry to hear this didn’t turn out as you were hoping! Is it possible that your spices were old? And did you use smoked or sweet paprika? For more flavor, we recommend using smoked. Hope that helps!
This was a good recipe which I added an 8 oz bag of spinach to. I needed to triple the spices though. I tried it with white jasmine rice this time and I don’t think it really goes…next time I’ll try it with some flatbread.
I had never heard of shakshuka before I stumbled upon this recipe, but I love chickpeas and all the spices used here so I had to try it and I thought it was amazing! I’m not vegan but I make this dish often for dinner! Honestly I couldn’t picture eating it with eggs now lol
Love this recipe! Simple and rich in flavor. I added an extra 1/4 tsp of paprika, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper along with 2 tsp of red pepper flakes for extra spice (I’m a little obsessed with spicy food). Before adding the chickpeas I blended half of the sauce to get a blend of chunky and creamy textures. I also went ahead and added a full two cans of chickpeas because to me, the more chickpeas the better (and why waste?). This passed the boyfriend test who said it was “really good” and scraped his bowl clean. I served with white rice, cilantro, fresh cracked pepper, and kosher salt on top. SO YUM!
Made this today and it was really delicious over rice with some avocado on the side. I didn’t have olives so it needed a generous amount of lemon juice and salt to replace the acidity/saltiness of the olives. It might be worth listing salt as an ingredient if folks choose not to use olives. Thanks for another great recipe!
How did you get that orange color? Mine looks red just like the tomato sauce and the spices do not seem enough to change the color??? It tastes good though.
Thanks so very much! I like eggs but not in Shakshuka for some reason. This is a perfect version for me to make for my Israeli friends!
I’ve made this a few times now because it’s so delicious. I’ve had it with bread and rice. Both good but what I just did was eat it with baked potato and that was the best?
Lesson learned: cinnamon and sugar do not work for my taste buds. I think if you are like me and do not like a bit of sweet with your savory, you can eliminate these two ingredients and the dish will come out fine. I added more tomato paste to try to lessen the cinnamon flavor… it helped a little. Might give away the rest of the dish as these particular flavors didn’t work for my palette. I can see how others would love this, though!
I’m with you. When I was an omnivore, never liked the taste of sugar with flesh. Even in plant-based dishes, I tone down the sugar and can’t stand sweet cole slaw that’s often found in southern cooking.
I used 2/3 the amount of date syrup in place of the recommended sugar. The sweetness was a bit forward for me, but not excessively, and next time I’ll likely cut back to less than half. But, the interplay between the acid tomatoes and the sweetness really added to the dish.
The cinnamon was fine for me and this was one of the best spice mixtures I’ve bumped into in a while (Nb: I’ve been cooking for 50 yrs)
It wasn’t what I was expecting. I tasted it after I put all the spices and it just tasted like a plain marinara sauce. I decided I needed more salt and doubled all the spices, yet I still tasted the only marinara sauce. I thought adding the chickpeas would make a difference, but I was met with disappointment. I had it with a brown rice mix, but I’ll have it with pasta to see if it taste any better.
Sorry to hear it wasn’t a favorite, Liana.. Better luck with the next recipe!
Never eaten Shakshukra before, but as a meat eater I found it was packed with flavour without the need to add meat, i will definately be making this again, fantastic.
Delicious! It had to be good because my wife had seconds.
Easy and inexpensive to make. Saving the recipe.
I have tried lots of on line recipes that say they are delicious but this one actually IS !! I made it last night and was so impressed with the flavour of such an easy to prepare, delicious and healthy dish. I am now a new subscriber and anxiously await new recipes to try ! Thank you !!
I had never heard of Shakshuka before, but the ingredients sounded great. I made this with all the spices, but only used half the chili powder; definitely spicy enough for me!
I ate it on olive bread and loved it!
This is soooooooooo good. I could not believe something so simple had SO much flavour!! For me, the olives are a must. It just adds that extra flava-flav. Serve with a squeeze of lemon too and you will be in heaven.
Wow, super good. I recently had a gum graft done so I can only eat soft foods, so I couldn’t do the crusty bread or rice (that can get stuck in unpleasant places) and this was delicious on its own—can’t wait to try it with some bread, yum. I have been wanting to try shakshuka at home, and I like this recipe especially because I’ll be eating it on my own and I won’t need to make eggs each time I pull the leftovers out (especially because I have to take my time while eating).
I went ahead and put 2 whole cans of chickpeas (protein is one of the macros I’ve struggled to hit on this diet), and used frozen seasoning blend instead of chopping my own onion and bell pepper. I also added black pepper in addition to all the spices, just ’cause I love it. I measure spices in the small of my hand, so I can’t be totally accurate, but I put a bit more chili powder and smoked paprika than what the recipe called for (I’m from Louisiana, so I like things just a teensy bit spicy).
PS I didn’t opt in for the cardamom, coriander, and cayenne, I will try ’em next time.
Loved it. It is definitely going to my recipe box. Very healthy and delicious. I made it with cauliflower rice and bought fresh whole wheat bread. Really delicious.
Where are the eggs? Shakshuka in Israel is always with eggs
Hi Zeev! You can make a traditional version if you would like, this is our vegan version of it!
Brilliant recipe! So simple and healthy. I really appreciate your ‘tips’ like “add more cumin or paprika if you want a more smoky flavor, etc.” That is super-helpful to a cooking novice like me! Thank you.
I wanted to try a new recipe, since I was getting burnt out after big, heavy meals for the holidays. This hit the spot! The flavors were light, bright, and tasted great with fresh homemade bread. May need to make a double batch next time!
I made this today; without coriander or cardamom.. ….but holy cow this was awesome! This was just perfect. It tastes amazing. Thanks for the recipe.
I love this recipe! Just made it with my parents to show them how to make quick and nutritious plant based meals with the stuff they already have on hand. They were fast fans and it was the perfect recipe to make their own with the eggplant and zucchini we had in the fridge. We subbed black beans (because we’d had hummus earlier in the day). Thank you Dana, love, love, love your blog and now my parents do too!!
I didnt have fresh garlic so instead i used garlic powder and i also had to use agave for the sweetner. I didnt put olives but instead added mushrooms. We had it over rice but then ran out of rice so we put it in a pita bread. Oh my god, soo good! I think next time i will try blending some of the bellpepper and onion.
I just made this last night after a goal of eating 1 vegetarian meal a week. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but one step at a time!
This was sssoooo good and it even had my husband full after 1 bowl with some jasmine rice. I added extra olives (because I love olives) and a handful of spinach (because I love veggies).
I can’t wait to try your other recipes!
Yum! Made this tonight and served it over brown rice — it was delicious and really filling. I added some eggplant and chopped kale but otherwise followed the exact recipe. Definitely will make again.
Thanks so much for this recipe! Amazing!!! I added eggplant, served with a side of califlower rice, sour dough, blob of homkus and lemon wedge, total comfort food! ?
This recipe is simple and amazing. The levels of spice are perfect. I added a couple more dashes of cayenne and served with basmati rice.
I made this for my dad who is a meat eater and he loved it. Next time I might want to put more veg in it but I thought it was tasty!
This is fantastic! So much flavor and easy to put together. Thank you!
I have never heard of this recipe….and initially i felt overwhelmed by the amount of cinnamon..
Nevertheless, it was delicious once i added some lemon and cilantro which seemed to neutralize the cinnamon.
Glad I gave this recipe a chance. Delicious!
This was very tasty! Will definitely make it again.
I went through all your entrees, favoriting what sounded good to me (I’ve been vegan for about 3 months, so don’t yet have a repertoire of recipes established). I was hesitant to make it because I thought it may seem too “boring” or “basic,” (especially because I was cooking for my uncle as well) and whoa was I wrong!
I added some spinach and red pepper flakes, and had it with your divine flatbread. It was SO good, I don’t even know what to say. I don’t usually toot my own horn, but when my uncle complimented the dinner, I had to say that I was totally on the same page! Thanks for your awesome recipes; I’ve made quite a few of them now and can’t wait to try more.
A very tasty and easy dish to make! I loved the flavours. It was a good change from my same old dishes. I only had one can of tomatoes so I added a little extra tomato paste and it was enough to make it work. Also added a small zucchini that needed to be used and made brown rice to go with it. Now onto dessert!!
SOOOOO GOOD! Spicy and warm, my taste buds are singing!! Amazing (and quick to assemble ) as always!
Wondering what I can substitute coriander or cilantro with in your jerk eggplant or shakshuks??
Thank you..
parsley?
So delicious and easy! I made it ahead of time and kept it warm in the crock pot, then served it for supper with homemade naan. This will go down on my list of easy weeknight faves. Thanks! Love your blog!
I made this recipe with all of the suggested spices, added some leftover GF penne I had on hand, topped with cilantro and thinly cut dino kale ribbons, and one bowl later I am in *food heaven*!!!! Will definitely make this again!! Thank you!
Really Delish!! I mixed in baby spinach and parsley.
Thanks!
I don’t have chickm peas was could I use instead
My husband and I really enjoyed this! Thank you for the recipe.
Made this for lunch today! Soooo good and very easy.
I made this recently and it was very, very good! I admit that I used harissa and added eggs because some family members insisted that shakshuka must include eggs. But it’s always a forgiving dish and can be whatever you want it to be. I served with homemade naan and buttered basmati rice. You can (and we did) eat this for any meal or snack. Thanks for adding my favorite legume –chickpeas — to an old recipe!
Another fantastic recipe. I love the idea of something other than eggs and pancakes for breakfast (I’m not creative in the mornings). The smoked paprika I have is really potent so I reduced the amount I used. When I make it again I’m going to reduce even further. A Tunisian restaurant by us makes this dish (with eggs) but I never ordered it because of the spiciness, I left the red pepper out and it was still delicious.
Fantastic! You did it again! I just can’t get enough. This was easy to make and so satisfying!
Wait a second, you have yellow onions listed in the ingredients….however, the picture has red onions. Is there something you’re hiding from us? #conspiracy :)
Delicious chili btw!
I made this last night and it was good. It just kind of tasted like tomatoes and chickpeas, nothing special. But today my husband and I had the leftovers for lunch and we both came home saying the same thing. THAT SHAKSHUKA WAS AMAZING!!!! I don’t know what I did wrong the night I made it. I must have just not let it simmer for long enough. But letting it rest in the fridge overnight did something magical.
Dana, I love all your recipes. I use them a few times a week and a few have become regulars in my repertoire.
I made this recipe last night for myself and my boyfriend. Simple to make AND made the entire apartment smell soooo good. Added a whole red pepper and more spices for some more kick. Absolutely love it. Shared some with my roommates and his… It was a hit! The chickpeas were a welcome substitute for eggs. This is something I’ll definitely be making again!
Only had regular paprika and added some frozen corn, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was so delicious! Ate it with some brown rice and it was so satisfying! Can’t wait to eat the leftovers.
I came across this recipe thanks to BuzzFeed. I’m a proud carnivore but always up for a good meatless dish.
I’ve always wanted to try shakshouka but am allergic to eggs (which is great because I think they smell terrible).
This dish was absolutely fantastic. I’m a fan of smoky and very spicy flavours. This was a bit mild for my taste so next time I’ll kick up the heat factor.
Girl this recipe is amazing. Thank you!!
This was delicious! I had it for dinner tonight with some rice and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. I recommend adding the coriander and cardamon. I am definitely making this again.
Was looking for something different to make for dinner last night and found this, absolutely delicious and I’ve got plenty left to freeze and have later, yeah!!!
My husband is a total omnivore and we made beef stifado for him but he tried mine and loved it too.
Thank you for such a delicious, easy, store cupboard recipe.
This was a wonderful dish. I swapped honey for the maple syrup since it was what I had on hand. Can’t wait to make this again.
This recipe was so flavorful and easy too! I let it simmer for about an hour due to logistical reasons and it turned out great! I served it with some flatbread. I’m going to make it again and simmer it for the recommended 15-20 minutes but I’m sure it will be just as delicious.
Oops…looks like my rating didn’t show up. Here it is!
This turned out delicious. I love how the flavors blend together.
Made this tonight and loved it :) Not only did it taste great, but it’s nutritious and diet-friendly (trying to lose some holiday pounds). Glad I doubled the recipe :) Thanks so much :)
This was absolutely delicious the first time I made it, but after visiting a restaurant that used eggs and potatoes, I wanted to see if I could attempt to make something similar. I used your recipe for the vegan omelette and added potatoes in at the same time as the chickpeas, sprinkled some garam masala over it, then baked it for a few minutes.
Not… quite the same consistency as real eggs, haha, but delicious nonetheless. It added a sort of creaminess to it. I’ll be making this again and again (sans “eggs” but plus potatoes.)
I just made this tonight with the flat bread and it was sooo delicious and easy to make !! I will definetely make this again! Just one thing… Is this really supposed to be for 4-6 people? Because we ate all of it and we are just 3! :D
Anyways, thank you for this amazing recipe!
Hi! So happy you enjoyed it! If you feel like it might not have been quite enough, feel free to double the recipe next time! Happy cooking!
Your website is my go-to for new recipes and I’ve never been disappointed. This one is perfect and has become a staple for me!
Holy moly. This dish is A-MAZING. It’s SO filling, but I don’t get that super heavy “ugh” feeling that I get when I eat the version with eggs in it. Thank goodness for the humble chickpea!
I omitted onions because I have an intolerance to them, added more olives (because I am an olive FIEND) and additional cayenne and it was wonderful. Such a great meal to bring in to the office for lunch! I think all of the spices in the recipe are a must, especially the smoked paprika… They add so much to the dish! I do think the end result was maybe a bit too sweet for my taste (I’m not used to adding additional sweetness to tomato dishes), so next go-round I think I may cut the added maple syrup/coconut sugar in half, if I don’t omit it entirely. :)
Can’t wait to try more recipes! Yours make eating more vegetables so easy!
Unfortunately it wasn’t my favorite dish that I’ve made by minimalist baker. While I’ve enjoyed the majority of your recipes– this one tasted like I was eating a chickpea and olive marinara sauce.
I’m about to head to the store for all the ingredients. I’m not the biggest olive fan, any substitute suggestions? Thanks so much!
P.S. I made your green bean casserole for Thanksgiving and it was a total hit!
So easy and delicious!
Really delicious, just a little bit too sweet for me :)
Will definitely make again but with less sugar
Soooooooooo I just made this and it is delicious, but I think tomato puree is not the same thing on this side of the Atlantic :) the dish was as thick as ketchup for a while, but some water and more spices and seasoning made everything better
This was fantastic! Only things I added were some chopped broccoli, an extra onion, and instead of the tomato puree which I didn’t know I was out of until halfway through making it, a little pasta sauce (~1 cup) to help thicken and make up for the added vegetables. Also added a buillion cube to bring out the flavor. Will making this again!
Oh, so good!! Comfort food, but healthy. I used all of the suggested spices – very generously, because I really love those flavors. I served it with brown rice. It was so good I actually sighed with pleasure between bites. And yes, the garlicky kale salad is a perfect accompaniment. Thank you for yet another great and easy dinner — with leftovers to boot!
I made this tonight, loved it. So glad I found your blog, I have stumbled upon vegan recipe heaven!
I worked at Medina for over 2 years ‘Proud moment’ I picked up so many great ideas working there. Glad you enjoyed it! The owner Robbie Kane is the nicest man in the world just to top it off!
Made this last night. It was another hit for us. Thanks for these awesome recipes.
Made this and it was even better the next day for lunch! Thanks for the recipe!
I made this recently and I have to say — Whoa — It was good. Love the pop of saltiness from the olives and the heartiness of the chickpeas. Well done! I’ve ordered your cookbook and am waiting with bated breath to get it as I’ve love literally everything I’ve made from your blog. THANK YOU and keep up the good work!
I love everything literally every recipe you post and nothing I have ever made by you has turned out bad! I added a couple tablespoons of harissa for spice and it really took the dish to the next level for me. Perfect for a cold fall day!
Lovely winter dish! The wholewheat bread roll mentioned in one of the other comments sounds a great idea too – kids love that you can eat the bowl too! Will definitely be trying this one!
I made this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. Like a tagine but in half the time. I served it with rice and lemon dressed spinach and avocado salad. Next time I’ll double up the recipe!
Made this Monday night and finished it tonight. I love recipes that provide leftovers like this so I don’t have to worry about cooking much through the work week.
It was absolutely delicious. I did as suggested and adjusted the spices to my liking. I also added way more olives than called for. It’s also nice to have recipes like this that provide a good base but are flexible enough to turn out well with what I have on hand.
I’m not vegan so I did add an egg when I reheated the leftovers. The egg was nice but not necessary. It stands on it’s on without the egg.
This is my first dish that I have made off of Minimalist Baker. I loved it. It was quick and delicious!
Thanks Rezhe!
This was quick and yummy. I don’t like olives so I put them on the
Side. My husband said they put it over the top! I love the lemon and cilantro with it!
Made this last night and it’s really good! I’m eating it with brown rice and some stale tortillas that I toasted. ;-)
Made this last night, amazing! Added double the chickpeas and a whole green capsicum. Served with extra olives and a tiny bit of chipotle chillis in adobo sauce. This one is a keeper for sure.
Making the ramen tonight, thanks again for the delicious new ideas!
I made this tonight with your vegan, gluten-free cornbread, and it was fantastic! The spices, chickpeas, and olives made it an interesting twist on chili and cornbread. Perfect fall food!
Going to make this for my lunches this week! Definitely adding in lots of olives, too! :)
Looks so yum!
Nonye
I’m so excited to have such a simple version of this! Thanks so much, Dana! I was in need of a quick dinner after spending the afternoon making some of your deeeeeeelish cookies (pre-dinner appetizers ;) By the way, if you want a little more of the authenticity, Trader Joe’s (at least ours) has Tunisian harissa right now. Yum!
Very delicious! First meal from this site I have tried so I am anxious to try out more recipes from here.
I made this dish, your chickpea shawarma, and your naan bread for the coming week. They are all fantastic. Just switched to vegan for health reasons, but if I’d known how fantastic the food is, I would have done it along time ago. I plan on making your tofu kale scramble tomorrow morning. Thanks for the great food!
This dish was very simple, and perfect for a chilly day. It took less than an hour from start to finish, and it didn’t make a mess. I served it over Basmati rice, with toast and a spinach apple cider vinegar salad on the side. The result was a Symphony of flavors. I used diced tomatoes and some leftover spaghetti sauce. The tomato was the most pronounced, but it wasn’t overpowerung. The spices were very well balanced with the cayenne filling out the profile, and the Olives adding the occasional bust of flavor. I would highly recommend this dish. Thank you for posting it.
Made this last night and it was so delicious! Served it with rice and a lemony spinach salad. Thank you for the wonderful recipes.
It’s cooking right now! Smells and tastes so good, my mouth is watering. We are going to eat it with crusty bread. I’m actually surprised how much my mouth is watering, I suppose I thought it would be smoky tomato sauce – but somehow it’s more substantial. I also added a small can of roasted tomatoes I had sitting in the cupboard, and omitted the tomato paste, because I didn’t feel like opening the can. All I know it, it was a simple recipe, and I can’t wait to eat…as soon as the bread heats up…
Made this with two slight changes – doubled the chickpeas and added in 1 lb. of okra. Was delicious! Also served the next day and poached an egg right in the sauce. Definitely recommend.
This was super tasty! Thanks for sharing!
I made this last night and it’s a keeper. But as usual, I had to adapt it for my style (read, a bit lazy in the kitchen.)
I used a whole red pepper because, well, why not!?!
Instead of one large can of diced tomatoes I used 2 small cans of Trader Joe’s Fire Roasted tomatoes. I did this so I could skip a bunch of the spices (Lazy). But, this made it very spicy. Next time I will use one small can of plain diced tomatoes and one small can of the fire roasted tomatoes.
I did use paprika (it was a gift so why not), cumin and cinnamon. So I skipped the chili powder, cayenne, cardamom and coriander. Hmm, maybe I didn’t save myself that much work. LOL
I misread the recipe. I thought it said 2 cans of chickpeas when it really says 1 1/2. But once the cans are open, they’re all going in, and it was the right call. Like the red pepper, why not!
This recipe is easy and very yummy. I had it over leftover polenta, hubby had it with rice. Makes great leftovers for lunch too. Thanks Dana!
Looks delicious! This makes me miss vegan shakshuka in Israel – they sometimes serve it a gorgeous wholewheat bread bowl!
Made this for dinner last night – incredible!!!! WOW!
My only sub was an orange bell pepper for the red.
I used the pinches of cardamon and coriander & cayenne.
Served over white rice.
Omni boyfriend raved about it!
So easy, so yummy and house smelled so good all evening!
Thank you!
My boyfriend wanted to make this again this week. It was so easy and really delicious. We took the other reader’s suggestion and added a bit more smoked paprika because we love that flavor. Amazing!
Thanks for this great recipe!
I also have never heard of shakshuka before but now its one of my favourit dinner dishes. I used chipotle chili powder and last night I ate it with fried zoodles. So delicious! For my lunch today I put it onto rice noodles.
I never heard of Shakshuka, but it you made this recipe sound so delicious and simple. It was both! The blender step is definitely worth the effort of having to wash one more dish. The creamy, flavorful sauce paired with the tender bite of chickpeas was perfection. This may be my new go-to 30 minute entree this fall-winter season.
This is the first recipe I’ve made from Minimalist Baker, and I will definitely be making more! I love shakshuka, and this turned out much better than my typical recipe!
I stuck to the recipe, and it turned out great. Then I did a bit of experimenting while serving. I squeezed in half a lemon and added some capers (I didn’t have kalamata olives) and dried parsley (I didn’t have fresh). That was also pretty tasty.
Super delicious! I love the leftovers even more than freshly made. The cinnamon settled down nicely ~ it was a little strange for my taste buds the first day (cuz…ya know, tomatoes and cinnamon). Oh, and I added more chickpeas to my bowl, so next time I’ll just add 2-2 1/2c. The olives would’ve been a nice touch, but I had none (next time!).
This is currently simmering on my stove and so far it tastes delicious! I subbed green bell pepper for red (green was 1/3 the price at my grocery store), added carrots, and swapped capers for olives (my husband hates olives but will tolerate capers #compromise). Our plan is to serve it over rice or farro (possibly with sautéed kale from our garden).
I’m not vegan so have always had shakshuka with eggs but since I’m pregnant over easy eggs are a no-go right now. I love the chickpea version!
This looks lovely, can’t wait to try and incorporate more veggie meals in to my routine! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Alice xxx
I made this last night and had it over fresh-from-the-garden grated carrots. I also made it with fresh tomatoes from the greenhouse instead of canned tomatoes. It was delicious.
SO lovely! Thanks for sharing, Caitlin!
I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago while searching for hearty fall vegetarian recipes. This is the first recipe I’ve tried off of Minimalist Baker and it was absolutely divine. Will definitely be making more of your dishes in short order!
So great, Erin! Thanks for sharing!
I just made this recipe for dinner. It’s tasty and very quick and easy! The addition of cinnamon is a great idea. I served it over quinoa and I thought that went really well together. Thanks for the great dinner idea!
Yay! Thanks for sharing, Danielle! xoxo
Absolutely delicious and I love how simple it was to make. I live in China (Yay, Peace Corps!) and the temperature is dropping quickly here. I was able to get all of the ingredients I needed at the supermarket. I let it simmer for about an hour while my brown rice cooked. It’s perfect. The flavors really come through. Thanks for keeping it healthy and easy! -PC China Volunteer
(I’m an avid reader of your blog!)
So cool! We’re actually visiting Shanghai right now and have loved it so far! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! xoxo
Yum! Looks like the perfect winter dish, thanks for sharing :) x
WHOA! This looks fantastic!
Shakshuka is one of my favorites! Great idea for making it vegan!
Hi
whats the difference betwen tomato paste and puree ? – here in the Uk they are the same thing
thanks
The difference can be consistency, though, I think with this recipe you might be able to use either if they are the same thing!
This looks amazing- can’t wait to try it. I love the addition of olives!
I just made this for dinner and it was AMAZING! I added an extra tsp of smoked paprika for a more smoky flavour. Such a hit with my family!
Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
So lovely! Thanks for sharing. Would you mind adding a rating next time? It helps us out a lot! xoxo
I tried to veganize a shakshuka recipe once before and it went horribly.
I’m eager to try your version, since I’m sure you worked out the kinks that I couldn’t.
Thanks for sharing!
Yum, I made shakshuka yesterday, and look forward to trying this recipe. We enjoyed a wonderful brunch at Medina in Vancouver too. We stayed at the boutique hotel next door.
Such a lovely restaurant! Glad you got to enjoy it, too.
I made this tonight for my birthday dinner. I had planned on making the eggplant lasagne roll ups; made the tomato sauce and tofu filling just to burn the eggplant slices ? Anyway used the tomato sauce to make this dish and it was amazing! I whipped up some hummus which counteracted the heat of the shakshuka wonderfully. Thanks for another fantastic dish ❤️❤️❤️
Happy birthday, Mairéad! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! xoxo
I just made this for dinner tonight. Can’t even tell you how delicious this recipe is! This will be a regular on our meal rotation. Thank you so much!
So lovely! Thanks for sharing. Would you mind adding a rating next time? It helps us out a lot! xoxo
Thank you! My husband (who is such an omnivore that we say “if it stays still long enough he’ll eat it”) and one of our kids love shakshuka but when he makes it the smell of the egg makes me gag (I’m vegan). It had never occurred to me to swap out the egg — what a brilliant+ yummy idea. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Hope you and your family love this recipe!
I have been using this website for a year now, and all of your recipes are amazing! I trust your taste buds so I made this as soon as I saw it, it’s sitting on the stovetop right now simmering. Looks, smells, and tastes absolutely delicious. I don’t even know what the nonvegan version tastes like, and I don’t wanna know, lol. Thanks again! Can’t wait for your fall stuff!
So kind, Jessica! Thanks for the sweet words. Hope you love this recipe!
I’ve been using this website for over a year now too! Dana your taste buds are spot on! I didn’t know what shakshuka was until now! I always try to think of different ways I can use chickpeas, and luckily you love them too so I’ve been using a lot of your chickpea recipes.
This one was really amazing. Thanks a lot! :)
Fantastic! It sounds super simple to make and have all the ingredients in my pantry right now :) From the name, I thought it would be more complicated – but I need to make room in my weekly meal plan for this <3
Not really sure you can call it shakshuka without the eggs. But whatever floats your boat I guess. Also it traditionally has pipelchuma or Harissa rather than chili powder.
Still looks good though.
This is a vegan recipe… I’m sure it’s pretty yummy without the eggs. Nothing stops you from adding them though :)
Agreed needs Harissa to be shakshukah and no olives. It is a fun idea for those who don’t eat eggs. I am definitely going to try it.
Of course you can – it’s vegan Shakshuka – compassionate cuisine!
That looks absolutely amazing! Saving this for when I next do brunch x
Laura
This looks so delicious and such a clever idea to use chickpeas in place of eggs!
Yum! I *love* shakshuka and can’t wait to try it with plant protein from chickpeas next time!
