(Family Features) Between work, kids and making it to that early morning workout session, finding time to prepare a quick and tasty meal can be a real challenge. Try something new and delicious with this One-Pot Rice Shakshuka.
A dish with origins in the Middle East and Northern Africa, shakshuka is traditionally made with a base of tomatoes, vegetables and seasonings, such as cumin and paprika. Then eggs are cracked on top and cooked in the sauce.
This version takes it a step further with the addition of Minute Instant White Rice, which provides a heartier texture to keep you feeling satisfied longer. Simply precooked and dried – nothing added but convenience – you can enjoy its light, fluffy texture after just 5 minutes in the microwave or on the stove. Plus, it works for those with dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian.

One-Pot Rice Shakshuka
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes with garlic and herbs
2 cups water
1 1/2 cups Minute Instant White Rice
6 eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Heat oven to 400 F. In high-sided, ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion, bell pepper, cumin and smoked paprika; saute 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add tomatoes and water to skillet. Bring to boil. Stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 3-5 minutes, or until most water is absorbed. Using spoon, create six small wells in rice mixture. Crack one egg into each well. Transfer skillet to oven; cook 12-15 minutes, or until rice is tender, egg whites are set and yolks are runny, or until cooked as desired. Garnish shakshuka with parsley before serving.
Tip: For spicy eggs, stir 1 tablespoon harissa paste into rice mixture before adding eggs. Or serve shakshuka with hot sauce.
