• Bring 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; finely dice remaining onion. Core, deseed, and dice bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley.

• In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced onion, vinegar, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Microwave for 30 seconds; set aside to pickle.

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan (large pan for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add diced onion, bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3-5 minutes. • Stir in chili powder and half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in Step 5); cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

• Stir in crushed tomatoes, stock concentrates, and ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings); cook, stirring, until reduced and jammy, 1-2 minutes. • Stir 1⁄3 cup water (½ cup for 4) into same pan; bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and veggies have softened, 3-5 minutes. (TIP: Add another splash of water if veggies need more time to soften.) Taste and season with salt and pepper.

• Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and remaining garlic powder. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

• Reduce heat under pan with tomato sauce to medium. Using the back of a ladle or spoon, make four wells (eight wells for 4 servings) in tomato sauce. Carefully crack an egg* into each well. Cover pan and cook until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to preference. Lightly season with salt and pepper. • While eggs cook, toast pitas, then spread with softened butter. Quarter pitas.

• Sprinkle shakshuka with feta and top with pickled onion (draining first). Drizzle with garlic sauce and garnish with parsley. • Serve family style directly from pan, with pita wedges on the side. ***Wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs.
