Shakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern dish made from poached eggs in a tomato, chilli and onion sauce, commonly garnished with cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, nutmeg. Although the dish has existed in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, it originated in North Africa, a typical Moroccan dish.
Shakshuka is prepared over low heat, starting with the vegetables and spices; once cooked, the eggs are added.
Give your shakshuka a festive glow-up by using seasonal vegetables. Butternut squash and kale are cooked in a harissa-spiced tomato sauce and topped with an egg - could be perfect for a Boxing Day brunch!
Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large deep-sided frying pan that has a lid. Fry the red onion and butternut squash over high heat for 4-5 mins, until beginning to brown.
2. Reduce the heat and add the green pepper, garlic, harissa, cumin and smoked paprika. Cook for 2-3 mins until fragrant. Season well with salt and black pepper. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and crumble over the stock cube. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 5-8 mins, or until the squash is almost tender.
3. Stir through the kale and cook for another 2 mins until wilted. Make 6 wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the whites have set on the top. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the chopped herbs. Serve immediately.
