Shakshuka with Feta (RECIPE)

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1 large white onion halved and thinly sliced thinly
  • 2 large red bell peppers (capsicum) pith and seeds removed then sliced thinly
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 heaped tsp ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 x 14oz can (400g) chopped/diced tomatoes
  • 3 ½ cups of 100g spinach
  • 75 g feta
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • A small handful of fresh coriander (cilantro) just the leaves.
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper


Instructions

  • 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or large pan and add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 20 to 30 minutes over a low to medium until they are soft. They should be golden brown. Stir regularly to avoid burning.


  • Add the sliced peppers and cook for another 10 minutes.


  • 2. Now add the garlic and the spices, cook for a minute until they release their aromas.
    Pour in the tomatoes. I usually add a little water to the tin, give it a swirl around add to the pan.
    Add a pinch of sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    The sauce should be thick.


  • 3. Now add the spinach, one handful at a time, it will wilt down quickly, stir it through the sauce.


  • 4. Make 4 wells in the sauce and gently crack in one egg in each well, cover with a lid and cook for about 5 - 7 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.


  • 5. Finally, roughly crumble in the feta, larger lumps are better for this dish.


  • 6. Top with fresh coriander leaves when the eggs are ready.
    Serve immediately.


Enjoy!!
