Quick and easy Shakshuka

Ready to blow some minds? This shakshuka is ridiculously easy to make, but also packs a huge punch of spicy, tomato-ey flavour that will have you feeling like a fancy TV chef (without a film crew watching you eat).

40 Mins
4 Serves

Ingredients

  • 650-700g good quality passata
  • 100g jarred grilled peppers with 1 tbsp of oil from the jar
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1⁄2 tsp chili flake
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt (optional: try using a vegetable stock cube instead for more flavour!)
  • 6-8 Good Yolk Co 700g eggs
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped and divided

Method

Step 1
In a large pan over medium heat, cook the peppers and onion until the onion is translucent, then add garlic and continue to cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the cumin, chili flake, and smoked paprika and continuously stir until fragrant (less than a minute).

Step 2
Pour in the passata, half of the parsley, and salt/stock. Simmer for 10-20 minutes or until slightly thickened.

Step 3
Using a spatula or spoon, create a divot in the sauce and crack the egg in its place. Repeat this for as many eggs as you wish to cook.

Step 4
Sprinkle eggs with a touch of salt, then cover and let cook for 6-10 minutes or until whites are set and no longer clear.

Step 5
Sprinkle the top with the remaining parsley and serve with bread.
