Shakshuka

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 green pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper
• 5 medium tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon harissa paste
• 4–6 eggs

Method

1. 1

   Finely chop the onion, garlic and green pepper. Sauté them in olive oil in a deep frying pan together with the spices. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and fragrant.

2. 2

   Chop the tomatoes finely and add them to the pan, along with the harissa. Cover and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until the tomatoes collapse into a sauce.

3. 3

   Use a spoon to make small wells in the mixture and crack in 4 to 6 eggs.

4. 4

   Cook over a low heat until the whites are just set while the yolks remain beautifully runny. Serve immediately, ideally with warm crusty bread.
