Shakshuka is a flavourful egg dish that is enjoyed throughout the Middle East and North Africa, both as a breakfast and as a main course. The name Shakshuka roughly translates as "mixture".
Ras el Hanout is a North African spice blend containing up to 30 different ground spices. Depending on the region, it may range from mild to pleasantly spicy.
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 400 g fresh tomatoes
- 400 g chopped tomatoes (canned)
- 150 g red bell pepper (medium)
- 150 g zucchini (medium)
- 100 g spring onions (3 stalks)
- 4 eggs
- 6 radishes
- 1 tbsp Ras el Hanout (or ground cumin)
- 20 g parsley
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tbsp oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Cut the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
- Halve the zucchini lengthwise and cut it into slices about 2 cm thick.
- Dice the fresh tomatoes.
-
Heat the oil in a deep
pan over medium heat and gently sauté the onion, garlic and tomato paste.
- After about 2 minutes, add the bell pepper and zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, slice the spring onions into thin rings and roughly chop the parsley, chopping the stems more finely than the leaves.
- Set aside about one tablespoon each of the spring onions and parsley leaves for garnishing, then add the remaining spring onions to the pan.
-
Add the diced fresh tomatoes, the canned chopped tomatoes and the Ras el Hanout. Stir well, cover with a
lid and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the parsley.
-
Crack one egg into a
ladle . Use the ladle to make a small well in the Shakshuka and gently slide the egg into it.
- Repeat with the remaining eggs.
- Cover again and simmer for about 5–6 minutes until the egg whites have set.
- Meanwhile, slice the radishes thinly.
-
Toast the bread in a
toaster or a pan and cut it into smaller pieces.
- Serve the Shakshuka on plates, garnish with the reserved parsley, spring onions and sliced radishes, and serve the toasted bread alongside.
