Easy Shakshuka

Serves 4-5
Hands on time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 x white onion, diced
  • 2 x red bell peppers, diced
  • 1 x clove garlic, minced
  • 2 x 400g cans peeled plum tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • Pinch white sugar

Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over a medium low flame and add the onion. Cook until soft, then add the diced peppers and garlic. Cook for a few minutes, before adding the tomatoes, tomato puree, spices, sugar and simmer for five minutes.
  2. Once the sauce is starting to thicken and reduce, season generously, then make little wells to carefully crack the eggs into. Depending on the size of your pan, you should be able to cook 4 or five eggs on the surface of your sauce.
  3. Place the lid on the pan, and allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes, ensuring that the sauce doesn’t reduce down too much. Top with fresh herbs (parsley is nice) and serve with delicious crusty bread for dipping.
