Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 medium heat chili, chopped thin
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 3 eggs
- salt and pepper
- two handfuls of Spinach
- handful chopped fresh coriander
- handful chopped fresh mint
- fresh chives
- Feta cheese
- Seasoned Greetings egg seasoning
Directions
Step 1
Preheat over to 200 degrees. Whilst the oven is heating up, chop the ends off your bell peppers and remove the core. Lay flat on a baking tray and bush with olive oil. Bake in the oven until soft and the skin begins to char. This should take about 15 - 20 minutes.
Step 2
About 5 minutes before your pepper is done, heat up your olive oil in a pan and cook your diced onions, and chilies until they are soft, but not brown.
Add your spices and garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Step 3
Take your charred pepper from the oven, dice up and add to the mix. Stir for about 1 min, and then add in the can of tomatoes. Add in your spinach and bring to a simmer.
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Step 4
Using a large spoon make three wells in the sauce, cracking an egg into each. This recipe is for 3 eggs, but you can easily add another to make more portions.
Step 5
Cook the eggs for around 6 - 8 minutes. We like to make sure the whites are cooked, but the yolk is still just runny.
To speed up the eggs cooking, place a lid on the pan.
Step 6
Finish with chopped mint, coriander and chives. We also like to add crumbled feta to finish the Shakshuka.
To really make the dish sing, add Seasoned Greetings egg seasoning to the eggs.
