Description
Shakshuka is simple dish, made of gently poached-eggs, in delicious chunky-tomatos & bell pepper sauce. Originated in Tunisia, this break-fast recipe is very popular in many parts of North-Africa & Middle-East.
Instructions
- Heat 3 table-spoons of olive oil in large cast iron skillet. Add green peppers, onions, garlic, spices, pinch salt & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, till vegetables have softened, about 5 mins.
- Add tomatoes & tomato sauce. Cover & let simmer for about 15 mins. Un-cover & cook a bit longer to allow mixture to reduce & thicken. Taste & adjust seasoning to your liking.
- Using wooden spoon, make 6 indentations in tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg in to each indention.
- Reduce heat, cover skillet & cook on low till the egg whites are set.
- Un-cover & add mint & fresh parsley. You can add more black-pepper or crushed red-pepper, if you like. Serve with warm-pita, crusty bread or challah of your choice.
Notes
- You can prepare the shakshuka tomato-sauce, one night in advance. Let cool it completely, then store in fridge in a tight-lid glass container. When ready the next-day, warm-up the sauce in skillet & add eggs & follow recipe from step #3 on.
- Leftovers will keep for 1 - 2 days, if stored properly in fridge in tight lid glass-containers. Warm-up over medium-heat, adding little more liquid to shakshuka sauce if needed.
- If you want to add meat, cook about ½ ground-beef (or) ground lamb, in some extra virgin olive oil. Season well with salt & pepper. Once fully cooked, remove meat from skillet, wipe skillet well & follow steps #1 & #2, to make shakshuka sauce, only this time, add cooked ground meat to skillet to simmer with the tomatoes for 15 mins (or) so before adding eggs.
