detailed description

First, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are softened.
Next, add the minced garlic, paprika, and cumin to the pan. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
Add the can of diced tomatoes to the pan. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Make small wells in the sauce with a spoon and crack the eggs into each well.
Cover the pan and let the eggs cook until they are done to your liking. This should take around 5 minutes for runny yolks, or longer if you prefer your yolks more set.
Finally, season the shakshuka with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
