Arabic cuisine offers a rich tapestry of flavors, and Datsh is a delicious example. Here’s a basic recipe for Arab Datsh:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized tomatoes, diced
- 1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 eggs
- Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. SautΓ© until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Create small wells in the tomato mixture with the back of a spoon. Crack one egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet and let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes. You can cook them longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro.
- Serve the Arab Datsh hot with warm bread or pita for dipping and scooping.
