Shakshouka, delicious poached eggs and rich tomato sauce. Great for a long weekend breakfast! [5348x3748] [OC]
Shakshouka is a delicious poached eggs and rich tomato sauce recipe. I added chorizo which I know isn’t traditional but it added so much flavour.
Here’s the full video recipe, please give it some love because it's where all the .gifs are from: https://youtu.be/Ka8bGww4Xm8
*edit* I fixed the wrong video address! Thank you for those you pointed it out.
Step by step recipe for Shakshouka, delicious poached eggs and rich tomato sauce. Everyone seem to be enjoying these posts!
Ingredients
Eggs
2x Chrizo
1 Onion
1 Red Pepper
1 Can Crushed Tomatoes
G-Fresh Paprkia
G-Fresh Cumin Seeds
G-Fresh Salt and Pepper
Feta
Parley.
Dice one onion and one red pepper.
Slice two sausages of chorizo into bite size pieces.
Add your lit chimney of charcoal to the BBQ.
Heat a solid cast iron pan over the charcoal before adding a small amount of olive oil.
Add the diced onion to the pan and begin to cook it through.
Once the onion begins to become translucent, add the chopped red peppers.
Cook until the peppers start to become soft.
Add the chorizo, brown it off so it can begin releasing all its flavour.
Next you want to add your spices, add a tablespoon of Paprika.
Then a tablespoon of cumin seeds, you can use ground it's your choice.
Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the spices through for a couple of minutes.
The reason for adding the spice before the liquid is we want to fry them off in the oil, this will help them pack a stronger punch.
Then add one tin of crushed tomatoes.
I know there's a lot of talk about not cooking tomato dishes in cast iron pans but if your pan is seasoned well and washed soon after cooking it will not be a problem.
I also like to add a little splash of water because the tomatoes will reduce down and we wouldn't want them to burn.
Bring the tomatoes to the simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or untill it begins to thicken up.
Once it's thickened a little move it off the heat.
Using a spoon, roughly make five small wells for the eggs to sit in.
Pour the eggs into the wells you have made.
I like to crack my eggs into a small bowl before tipping them in, this help in case there's a piece shell or god forbid a rotten egg. You don't completely destroy all of your hard work.
Then cover with the lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked the way you like them.
About half way through turn the pan around so the eggs evenly cook.
This is also the perfect time to toast some bread.
You want to under cook the eggs then over cook them because they will continue to cook after you remove the pan from the heat.
To finish it off, sprinkle over some fresh parley.
Finally crumb over some feta.

Thank you!

We have this dish in Kurdish food culture, we just mix the eggs in with the sauce. Very delicious +1 post
JohnDeCaux
Nice!
Ssssssssssss
I love Shakshuka. I don't actually make the badass version you've taken all of these pictures to make, but maybe one day.
Ssssssssssss
Apparently comment was insulting, but I legitimately respect this and hopefully I'll make it one day.
JohnDeCaux
I didn't find it insulting...
IcanttiemyshoesbutIcanfuckyourbitch
I made it, got it wrong, eggs escaped baskets, stirred it through the sauce instead, still delicious
JohnDeCaux
Still would've tasted amaxing!

Just came back from the birth right trip. This was my first meal when I landed. Super good!
JohnDeCaux
Nice!

Ah, one more dish for the summer to try out.
JohnDeCaux
Awesome! Let me know how it goes

starting a grill for breakfast? use the stove, especially if you are going to use a pan anyways.
arcticchick
I LOVE shakshouka! Never made it with chorizo, though. Have some moose chorizo in the freezer...going to give it a try :)
JohnDeCaux
Awesome!!! Let me know how it goes
ViktorKovacs
I would recommend either covering it for a couple minutes at the end or tossing it under the broiler if you don't like runny egg whites.
JohnDeCaux
Even letting it cook 5 more minutes works ;)

These eggs are not poached.
hugh705
They are, even by definition, the liquid doesn't have to be water. If you've had shakshuka the eggs are more or less the same texture too.
overcookedchickennugget
I don't consider what the eggs are put into as a liquid. The egg yolk is not surrounded by the egg white here.
hugh705
If you poached an egg in half an inch of water it'd look like that too
MrJitterfingers
and here I was thinking of making a post about it - beat me to the punch.

+1 for well maintained cast iron.

I just want to know why cook this on a BBQ and not a stove?

Enjoying nature with a smoke and a beer...
JohnDeCaux
Because it looks cool... and I'm addicted to using my BBQ
doctorbees
Fair enough.
toriscool
You can make it the same way on stove

We make this once a week in the restaurant for brunch and our recipe is pretty much identical to this. Nice Post

Shit! Thank you! I'll fix it
JohnDeCaux
Fixed! I didn't change any thing else so I didn't feel like I had to write "edit" or should I? :/
BaronVonFingerbang
I fucking love shakahouka. Lightly fry eggplant first then add on top later.
JohnDeCaux
Great idea!
BaronVonFingerbang
I'm not the best cook but there's a place by me that makes it and it's phenomenal.
newworldtraveller
That doesn't look like chorizo.
Yorou
usernamerelevantsoon
looks closer to spanish chorizo vs mexican
cmpalmer
Spanish chorizo is dried like salami. Mexican chorizo is soft. IIRC.
maverickquasar
In Spain you get both types - soft for cooking, hard for eating straight up
newworldtraveller
Ah, yeah, you're right actually. Still not sure that that's chorizo, looks more like linguica.
IFapToTurtles
It sure doesn'

Generic term, sausage. Some come in caselings like Italian sausage, some don't. Whatever you prefer
newworldtraveller
Not arguing symantics for the sake of it, I make my own chorizo.
sunyudai
Chorizo is specifically spicy pork sausage, by definition. You can argue spice level, specific spices, or percentage that's pork.

That's a matter of some discussion. Some might have different ideas about what the truth of it is in different regions, but the real fact is

Chef John just did a video on it. Just search 'shakshuka' and 'food wishes' on YouTube.

That's the video I based mine off of. But Chef John's cadence is...mezmerizing.

Still the same, it works if I go to the actual youtube site, but embedded in imgur I get this

Looks delicious, but I'm not so sure about tomato sauce in a cast iron pan.
antecedent
It's not a problem for a well seasoned pan. Pour boiling water into it to clean once you're finished and everything will be rosy.
JohnDeCaux
If you've seasoned your pan well and wash it straight after its not an issue. The issue is when people leave it on the sink for hours on end
cajuninjun
why? i cook tomato based dishes in my cast iron all the time
hardytardigrade
Martha can explain: http://www.marthastewart.com/268043/reactive-vs-nonreactive-pans
antecedent
The problem mostly comes about when people simmer tomatoes (or other acidic foods) in the pan for some time 1/?
antecedent
The food can take on a metallic flavor and the pan can put (in extreme cases) if left in he pan too long.2/?
antecedent
I prefer to rinse out my c.i. pan with boiling water because "hot pan + cold water = bad" and "cold pan + cold water = scrubbing" 3/4
antecedent
"(very) hot water + (quite) hot pan = heavenly clean."
cajuninjun
i've never had that happen, must be because my cast iron is so seasoned

You linked the wrong video at the bottom, friend.

I've fixed it now ;)

Thank you!

No thank you for pointing it out!

Also I sent the post to my Mother. We may be trying this out soon.

Awesome!!! Let me know what she thinks
