Sardine Shakshuka
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 green bell peppers (or any color you have), diced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
- red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
- 6 cups chopped Roma tomatoes
- 1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
- 2 cans Crown Prince Natural Skinless & Boneless Sardines in Water, drained
- 6 -8 large eggs
- chopped cilantro, for garnish
Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat a large oven safe sauté pan over medium high heat. When hot add oil, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until vegetables are soft and fragrant. Add dry spices and stir to combine. Continue stirring until spices are fragrant. Mix in tomatoes and tomato sauce, and lower heat to medium low. Simmer until mixture is slightly thickened.
Gently stir in sardines. Try not break up the sardines. Turn off the burner. Create craters in the mixture one crater at a time. Crack an egg into each crater before starting the next one. When you have cracked all the eggs into the mixture, transfer sauté pan to oven.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until tops off the eggs have turned white. Egg yolks should still be slightly runny.
Remove from oven and transfer to serving vessel. Serve with bread.

Meet Chef Jan Hill
Hi, I’m Chef Jan Hill! I am a first-generation immigrant from Laos. I grew up and settled in the Southern California area before moving to Atlanta in July of 2018.
My culinary career started in fine dining at the one Michelin star rated Ortolan in Los Angeles. Since then, I have worked in many different areas of the culinary world ranging from teaching kids’ cooking classes to working in the culinary department of University of Southern California to many famed and well-known resorts in the Palm Springs area. Since becoming a Georgian I have also created food for scenes in Black Lightning and The Resident.
I believe cooking and food is what every culture has in common. We all need to eat to survive, but food itself brings families and friends across cultures together. I live to eat and cook amazing food; I do not eat and cook amazing food to live.
