Soft Shakshuka with Feta, Herbs and Egg

20mins

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red capsicum, finely chopped
2 cans chopped tomatoes
2 tsp cumin, ground
2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
4 large eggs
100g feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh coriander, finely chopped

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.

  • Step 2

    Add the garlic and capsicum to the skillet, and cook for another 5 minutes, until the pepper is tender.

  • Step 3

    Combine the chopped tomatoes, cumin, paprika, and chilli flakes (if using) in a mixing bowl. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly

  • Step 4

    Using a spoon, create 4 small indentations in the tomato sauce. Crack an egg into each indentation. Cover the pan with a lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are cooked, and the yolks are still slightly runny.

  • Step 5

    Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, parsley, and coriander over the top.
