Classic Shakshuka Recipe:
Ingredients
Ah yes let me just grab my north african spices out of the cabinet
-¼ cup diced onion
-3 cloves of garlic, crushed
Enamelled cast iron. Best of both worlds. Thanks for the inspiration.
-1 tsp ras el hanout
-½ tsp ground aleppo pepper
That bounty did not wipe up the whole mess 😓😓😓😓😓
Deceptive editing
-½ tsp whole cumin seeds
-28 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes (whole or crushed)
Wheres the seasoning? Ie salt and pepper?
-¼ tsp cayenne pepper
-1 Tbsp smoked paprika
-1 ½ tsp Harissa paste
-½ cup roasted red peppers
I haven't seen a more badly made video!!
-4-5 large eggs
-Feta cheese (for garnish)
my favouritteeeeee shakshuka recipeeee
-Parsley (for garnish)
-Honey (for garnish)
These recipes can sometimes be all over the place. "Crush the garlic with the heel of your knife" oh nice, this is going to be a super accessible recipe. "Add 1 tsp of ras el hanout" ah, back to my "shakshuka" search results.
-Crusty bread (for serving)
1. In a stainless steel pan, preheat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and sweat the onions for 3 minutes over moderate heat.
I agree parsley is better. 😂
Once translucent and soft, add in 2-3 cloves of garlic and saute for an additional 30 seconds before adding 1 teaspoon of ras el hanout, ½ teaspoon of aleppo pepper, and ½ teaspoon of whole cumin seeds. Toast the spices for about 30 seconds, and remove the pan from the heat if it starts to get too hot.
2. After toasting for 30 seconds or until very fragrant, add in a 28 ounce can of fire roasted tomatoes. If your tomatoes are whole, crush them up with a spoon in the pan. Bring that to a simmer and add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 ½ teaspoons of harissa paste, and ½ cup of roasted red pepper.
ngl the food waste at the beginning pmo
3. Once everything is added, bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
4. After the sauce has thickened and small egg divots can be formed, use a spoon to form a well in the sauce and crack an egg inside each well. I usually make 4 or 5 eggs.
Shakshuka needs to be eaten from the pan with a piece of bread
5. Gently spoon the sauce up and around the whites of each egg to help them cook more evenly. Lower the heat, cover with the lid and let it gently simmer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes make sure the whites of the eggs have set.
6. Remove from the heat and begin dressing it up with a variety of toppings. I recommend some crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of honey. Serve alongside some good bread.
I think I watched this video 11 times now. This week I'm really gonna do it I think!
Italian-Inspired Shakshuka Recipe:
Ingredients
Im a tad late to the party, maybe someone will see my comment some day and respond. I absolutely hate simmering anything with tomatoes in it, i feel like it covers my entire kitchen with slashes from tomatoes, and i find red stains i missed days later. Any suggestions? Is it ok to simmer with lid? i assume not since you then trap the moisture inside right?
-Spicy Italian Sausage
-¼ cup diced onion
I never thought I’d come back to old recipes like this and have to tell myself no because of the price of some ingredients (eggs)😢
-5 whole garlic cloves, crushed
-¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
I never thought I’d come back to old recipes like this and have to tell myself no because of the price of some ingredients (eggs)😢
-28 oz can crushed tomatoes
-¼ cup basil, chopped
Works well with rice or grits style corn as well.
-4-5 large eggs
-Low moisture mozzarella, sliced into pieces
if you want sweetness, why don't you reduce the tomato a little longer before adding egg?
-Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
-Fresh basil (for garnish)
Ive never heard of half the stuff you used in this dish
-Crusty bread (for serving)
1. Start by cooking some spicy Italian sausage in a little oil over medium high heat. Break the sausage into pieces with your spoon and saute over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until it has nicely browned. Set sausage aside.
Shakshouka is a Tunisian dish. The word shakshouka is only used in Tunisia and means a mixture. We do not put eggs in original shakshouka
2. Add the diced onion and then sweat in the sausage fat for 3 minutes over moderate heat.
3. Once translucent and soft, add in 5 whole crushed cloves of garlic and 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomatoes. Saute until everything is fragrant and add 28 ounces of crushed tomatoes and ¼ cup of chopped basil.
I use to watch this guy religiously when I was in HS
Taught me the basics of cooking but since left the cooking to chefs.
Now I’m planning on getting back to it
4. Add the sausage back to the pan, mix everything together and let simmer for 20-30 minutes, until it has reached the right thickness.
5. Make little wells and add an egg to each well. Add a few pieces of low-moisture mozzarella to the top of the sauce as well. Lower the heat, cover with a lid, and let stew for 5 minutes before checking to make sure the egg whites have set.
I want to try this sooo bad
6. Plate and garnish immediately with some freshly grated parmesan and fresh basil. Serve with some good bread.
Mexican-Inspired Shakshuka Recipe:
Did he say “horrible cilantro flavor”?!?! Dead!!! 😂
Ingredients
-Chorizo
BRAVO ! you are a red bird like me here in SW France who only uses SMOKED Paprika. in my Shakshuka. This gives the dish some zest. The best is Spanish. I have been disappointed with the Hungarian even bought in the central market of Budapest

-Cilantro (for garnish)
-Tortillas (for serving)
i want this for breakfast every day
1. Start by cooking some chorizo in a little oil. Use your spoon to break up the sausage and saute over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until nicely browned. Set aside.
2. Add the diced onion and sweat the onions in the chorizo fat for 3 minutes over moderate heat.
