Equipment
- Sharp knife
- Chopping Board
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large brown onion finely sliced
- 1 fresh red chilli seeds removed, finely chopped, optional
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 800 grams tinned crushed tomatoes
- 400 gram tinned chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin ground
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- handful coriander or flat leaf parsley, half of it finely chopped
- 8 large eggs
To serve
- bread of choice
Instructions
- Bring a frying pan to a medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and then finely chopped onions. Sauté until tender and translucent.
- Add the chilli (if using) and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, chickpeas, sweet paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and the finely chopped coriander or parsley. Stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, make eight indents in the shakshuka mixture using the back of a spoon. Crack an egg into each indent. Place the lid on the pan and cook for a further 10-15 minutes or until the whites are cooked and the yolks are cooked to the desired runniness. Alternatively, transfer the pan without the lid on to an oven preheated to 180°C/356°F (conventional) and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the yolks are the desired runniness.
- Serve alongside your favourite bread and topped with extra salt, pepper and torn coriander leaves.
