Sweet Pepper Shakshuka with Feta
This simple meal in a skillet merges a Romanian dish called piperchi with North African shakshuka. Crumbled feta or goat cheese is melted into a sauté of sweet peppers and tomatoes, yielding a savory-sweet, subtly creamy sauce to support eggs that are poached right in the mix. A final sprinkling of more cheese and chopped herb finishes the dish with punchy flavor and fresh, green notes. Serve with warm, crusty bread or soft, pillowy flatbread.

Yum
I've made this twice- both times with some tweaks (garlic and/or onion added, chili flakes, fresh oregano etc. ). Used fresh tomatoes and basil from our garden. It's good and the family likes it with homemade sourdough. Takes a lot longer to simmer down to a thick consistency than the recipe indicates, but it makes the house smell good just that much longer! Will probably try it over some jasmine rice next time. . .
