Ingredients

  • ¼ medium onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 small-medium red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon harissa spice powder or chilli flakes
  • 400 g can of plum tomatoes
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 2 eggs
  • 40 g feta cheese
  • Fresh Cilantro
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat some oil in a pan on medium heat and add the chopped onion. Stir fry for a couple of minutes and then add the garlic cloves finely chopped or crushed and the red pepper, chopped. Cook for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add smoked paprika, cumin and harissa and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.
  • Add plum tomatoes. With a fork or the cooking spoon, break down the tomatoes making sure there are no big chunks. Leave cooking at medium heat until the red peppers are cooked and the tomato sauce has reduced and has turned into a richer and thicker sauce. Add salt to taste.
  • When the peppers and the rest of the ingredients are cooked, add the spinach and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • With the back of a spoon, make small holes to place the eggs. Break the eggs into the hole and cover with a lid.
  • Cook with the lid on during 5 minutes. Uncover and turn the heat off. Sprinkle the feta cheese and chopped cilantro on the top, season with black pepper and your Shakshuka will be ready to serve!

Notes

  • If you love spicy food, make sure you add some hot sauce on your plate!
