Shakshuka is a traditional North African dish that I found whilst looking for a way to use the eggs that our chickens keep firing out!

This shakshuka recipe may look a bit sloppy, but the subtle use of spice leaves a comforting tingle on the tongue and gives the shakshuka a full and rounded flavour. This shakshuka recipe will definitely be going on my breakfast menu!

We served it with a bit of french bread, but I suspect pitta might work a bit better 🙂

Ingredients for Shakshuka

• 1 medium onion – diced (I used a red one)
• 1 400g tin of chopped tomato’s
• 150 ml tomato juice
• 1 chilli pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• Salt and pepper

Shakshuka Recipe Method

1. Gently fry the onion and chili until the onion is soft (about 5 minutes)
2. Add everything else except the eggs and simmer for about 5 minutes.
3. Before adding the eggs, have a little taste and adjust as you see fit.
4. Crack the eggs carefully into the mixture, cover and simmer on a low heat until the whites are set (about 7 minutes).
