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.

  7. Shakshuka is my family's most preferred brunch on Sundays. Filling, healthy and delicious. What I like about making this one pot meal is that one can vary the flavors. Your preparation looks so good.
