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.

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.

These eggs are not poached.

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.

I don't consider what the eggs are put into as a liquid. The egg yolk is not surrounded by the egg white here.

If you poached an egg in half an inch of water it'd look like that too

Spanish chorizo is dried like salami. Mexican chorizo is soft. IIRC.

In Spain you get both types - soft for cooking, hard for eating straight up

Chorizo is specifically spicy pork sausage, by definition. You can argue spice level, specific spices, or percentage that's pork.

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.

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

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

why? i cook tomato based dishes in my cast iron all the time

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

The problem mostly comes about when people simmer tomatoes (or other acidic foods) in the pan for some time 1/?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The food can take on a metallic flavor and the pan can put (in extreme cases) if left in he pan too long.2/?
