Shakshouka




A very Arabic dish made up of eggs cooked in a thick tomato sauce with onions and spices...usually served with bread.

Recipe:

2 eggs
4 fresh tomatoes, blended
1 tsp tomato paste
1 tsp paprika powder
1 onion, chopped finely
quarter tsp garlic paste
quarter tsp turmeric
1 green chilli, chopped
2-3 tbsp oil
salt to taste
pepper

Heat oil in a small saucepan, then add the onions and fry until transluscent. Add the garlic paste, followed by the blended tomatoes. Add all the other spices and cook on low heat until the tomato sauce has thickened. Break open the eggs and add them to the sauce, season them with a bit of salt n pepper, but do not stir, leave them whole. Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 5 minutes or until the eggs look set with the yolk slightly soft...or you can cook them until the yolk is well-done, as you like. Garnish with coriander, and serve with warm buttered toast and enjoy!
