Shakshuka

A classic brunch dish, shakshuka is vegetarian and quick and easy to make - spices, peppers, tomatoes and eggs bubbled up in a pan - what's not to like?

Ingreadient

  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • olive oil
  • 2 from a jar roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp mild chilli powder
  • 400g tin plum tomatoes
  • a pinch sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • a handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Direction

    1. Heat a large frying pan with a lid. Cook the onion and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil until soft, then stir in the peppers, spices, tomatoes and sugar and simmer for 10 minutes. Make 4 dips in the mixture with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each.
    2. Put the lid on and cook gently until the whites are set and the yolks cooked how you like them. Scatter with parsley and serve with bread or toast.
