I lived in the middle east my whole life before moving to Perth and I can't believe I never heard of this dish! I first tried it in Rabbit in the moon in Fremantle and it was SO delicious that I had it again in Typika in Claremont. Their portions were tiny for the price I paid (about $16 a tiny plate) so Treesha and I decided to whip up our own Shakshuka!
Ingredients:
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 large onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 red chili
- 4 eggs
- Feta cheese
- 1 Chorizo sausage
- Cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Chop up the bell pepper, chorizo, onion, garlic, feta, tomatoes and cilantro.
- Cook the bell pepper and onion together on low-medium heat for about 15-20 minutes until it is really soft, make sure to stir regularly so it does not burn.
- Add in the garlic and the herbs and stir for another minute.
- Add in the tomatoes and salt and pepper in. Simmer it for another 8-10 minutes until the sauce thickens up and then add the chorizo and chilli.
- Make 4 dents in the thickened sauce to crack the 4 eggs in. After you put the eggs on sprinkle some feta cheese on top.
- Cover the pan and let the egg whites cook. Once it is done, sprinkle some cilantro and you're done!
Hope you enjoy your shakshuka, it goes well with toast for brekkie. (:
