Shakshuka

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium onion finely chopped

• 6 garlic cloves finely chopped

• 1x 400g peeled plum tomatoes

• 1x 400g Mutti finely chopped tomatoes

• 1tsp cumin

• 1tsp paprika

• 1tsp mixed herbs

• 1/2tsp turmeric

• 1/2tsp chilli powder

• 1/2tsp - 1tsp granulated sugar

• Salt & pepper to taste

• 4 medium eggs

• Feta cheese

• Parsley

• Bread to serve

Directions

• Add some olive oil to a pan over medium heat & add the onion

• Cook until softened

• Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds

• Add the plum tomatoes to a bowl and squash with your hands

• Add both cans of tomato and bring to a simmer

• Add the spices

• Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the tomato sauce has thickened slightly

• Taste for seasoning and add more if needed (all seasonings are just a guide! I will usually taste my food & add a sprinkle more when cooking.) Taste your food as you go!

• If there is still the tomato/acidic taste feel free to add sugar at this point. Start with 1/2tsp

• Create 4 wells in the sauce and crack the eggs inside

• Cook for about 5-10 minutes with the lid on depending on how you like your eggs

• Add salt and pepper to the eggs

• Sprinkle some parsley and feta over your shakshuka

• I like to let my shakshuka rest for a few minutes before I eat, I honestly think it gives the flavours time to intensify!

• Serve and enjoy with some crusty bread!
