a. Start by preparing the Spicy Shakshuka. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and sliced green chilies until softened. b. Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste, cooking for 1 2 minutes or until the spices are fragrant. c. Add diced ripe tomatoes and cook until they release their juices and begin to thicken, about 10 minutes. d. In a separate bowl, combine chopped mint leaves, chopped cilantro leaves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside. e. To assemble the dish, place the Spicy Shakshuka in serving bowls and top with a generous spoonful of the mint and cilantro chutney.
