Method

Step 1:

In a skillet or cast iron pan, heat a dash of olive oil over a medium flame. Add the onions and cook until they’re soft and translucent for around 5 minutes.

Step 2:

Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minute.

Step 3:

Add the paprika, sugar, Harissa Spice Mix and tomato paste and mix well.

Step 4:

Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.

Step 5:

Reduce the heat to a low flame and let the mixture simmer for around 10 minutes until it’s thickened.

Step 6:

Make 4 nests in the mixture and crack an egg into each nest.

Step 7:

Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the egg whites have set and aren’t translucent anymore, around 5 minutes. Leave slightly longer if you want the egg yolks well-done.

Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with a side of flatbread or ciabatta. Learn more about the history of Shakshuka here.
