This one-pot recipe is ridiculously easy to make. Start with the sauce. First, cook the onions and bell peppers in a saucepan. Add the spices and salt and cook until fragrant.

Garnish with fresh herbs and crumbled feta and serve with toasted bread or pitas for soaking up all that delicious sauce.

To make the Meatball Shakshuka, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Meatball Shakshuka

1	Cook peppers and onions	10
In a large saucepan with a lid over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add in 2 sliced bell peppers and 1 thinly sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until the onions are almost caramelized, about 10 minutes.
2	Add spices	1
Add in 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika and ½ teaspoon salt and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3	Add tomatoes	3
Using your hands, crush 1 can tomatoes one at a time and add to the pepper and onion mixture, add in the remaining liquid from the can.
4	Cook sauce	15
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it starts to thicken, about 15 minutes. Add salt as needed.
5	Make meatball mixture	2
Meanwhile, combine 1 pound ground beef with 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 minced garlic cloves, finely chopped cilantro, 2 eggs, and 1 cup breadcrumbs. Mix using your hands, being careful not to over mix.
6	Shape meatballs	3
Use your hands to shape meatballs roughly the size of a golf ball.
7	Cook meatballs	20
Gently place the meatballs into the sauce and bring back to a simmer. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 10 minutes. Then uncover and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 165 °F on an instant-read thermometer.
8	Serve
Top the meatballs with feta and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with toasted bread or pita bread for soaking up all the sauce.
