Take a little looka at my Shakshuka

In a frying pan on medium/high heat add:
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic/ ginger paste (Optional.. still very good without it.. adding it because why not?)
  • 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups diced peppers (any and all you want - bell perppers/ jalapeƱo etc. seeded or unseeded up to you see below first)
Toast Onion, garlic/ginger, spices and peppers then add:
  • 1/2 jar of tomato puree or even chopped tomatoes (5-4 medium) or a combo of both
  • Add water a few tbsp and cook for a little bit (until eggs are ready to add in). add enough water so its a bit saucy/runny as the sauce reduce after we add eggs
  • Taste seasonings & adjust
Once good with the taste, use your utensil to create an indent in the sauce for the eggs
  • Add cracked eggs on top. (Ideally crack in a bowl & then pour onto ident)
  • Once all eggs are in, add:
    • Salt/pepper on top of egg
    • Chilli flakes (optional)

Cover pan with lid and cook on medium/low heat

Once eggs are cooked (tap with ur utensil once firm and only a little jiggly on top) turn off heat. Remaining heat will cook it through

Once off heat, add:
  • Chopped cilantro on top
  • Feta cheese 
  • chopped green onions (optional)
