I love taking classic recipes and adding some fun, extra bold flavors! This black bean shakshuka recipe is a tasty high protein weekend brunch that’s ready in half hour. Classic shakshuka is a Turkish recipe where eggs are poached in a pot of spiced tomatoes and onions. This recipe is a slight variation of the classic, adding in black beans for a hearty twist.

What’s In This Shakshuka with Black Beans Recipe?

See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!

  • Onion, Garlic, Bell Pepper, Green Onion, Cilantro
  • Black Beans: Use no salt added or low sodium beans for better flavor and control of the salt in your shakshuka.
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this breakfast – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
  • Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
  • Eggs
  • Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
  • Salsa or Salsa Verde: we used a homemade tomatillo salsa for this shakshuka, but any store-bought salsa works just as well.

How Do I Make Shakshuka with Beans?

In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
Add the black beans, tomatoes, and paprika, chili powder and simmer for about 15 minutes until warm and bubbling.
With a spoon, make 4 wells in the beans. Crack and egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes more until eggs are cooked all the way through.
Before serving, top shakshuka with chopped green onions, cilantro, and red chili flakes to taste.

    Great recipe! Good proportions of ingredients and clear instructions! I used Chipotle powder instead of chili powder and it was a good call! Threw on some feta squares I had.
