Shakshuka#SundayFunday

Shakshouka or Shakshuka is a one dish skillet meal of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, etc.. . The word Shakshuka comes from Arabic, meaning, “a haphazard mixture” or “all mixed up.” This can be had as a main course or even as breakfast with pita or challah bread. This has to be served in the pan that you are making it.

This serves 4 as a sides dish

Serves 2 as a main course
Ingredients
4 Eggs
1 Large Onion – thinly sliced
4 Tomatoes – thinly sliced
2 Green Chillies - finely chopped
Salt to taste
¼ Teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
¼ Teaspoon Black pepper powder
2 Tablespoons Oil 

Method

Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onions, sauté till the onions are soft and translucent. Now add chopped tomatoes and the green chillies , saute for a minute and then cover with a lid and let it cook till the tomato are soft. 

Add the salt, pepper, chilly flakes. Cook until the tomatoes become mushy. 

Now make a hole on four sides 

Break the eggs one by one on each hole ensure that the yolks don’t break. Sprinkle a dash of salt on each egg, cover the pan and let it cook for 4 - 5 minutes on a low heat. 

Cook till the egg yolks are runny, if you want fully cooked eggs, then keep if for  more time. I wanted the yolks to be runny. Sprinkle some chopped coriander and a bit of pepper on top this is optional. 

It’s ready to serve with bread slices in the same pan it was cooked in.
