Shakshuka. Fried eggs in tomato-vegetable sauce
I continue to share with you delicious dishes that are easy to prepare. This time I have shakshuka on the menu. I will share my shakshuka recipe with you. If desired, you can add eggplant, mushrooms, ham, cheese and other ingredients to shakshuka.
There is no one, common and most correct recipe for making shakshuka. Shakshuka is scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Everyone cooks as they know and love. In addition, it does not have to be on a tomato-vegetable basis.
Preparing ingredients for shakshuka. I rub tomatoes on a special grater to separate the pulp and juice (you can buy canned tomatoes or pour over boiling water, remove the skin and cut into small cubes)
Cut into cubes 1-2 onions. I cut half of the hot pepper into half rings. I cut the bell pepper into cubes. 4-5 garlic cloves, peeled, washed and finely chopped.
In a frying pan with a thick bottom, heat 150 grams of olive oil, add the prepared onion, mix and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the prepared garlic and hot pepper, mix. Add spices (zira, cumin, coriander, sweet paprika) and fry a little. Next, add the bell pepper and sauté until soft. I add the pulp and juice of grated tomatoes and stew over low heat for 20-25 minutes. to desired sauce consistency. After 5 minutes after stewing, add oregano and basil, sugar and salt to taste and continue to simmer.
Gently break the eggs into the pan, fry over low heat so that the protein is fried, and the yolk remains liquid, like fried eggs in scrambled eggs. Lightly sprinkle the yolks with a pinch of salt.
Serve shakshuka in a pan, with fresh tortilla to dip into the sauce.
