Egg shakshuka

 

Shakshuka is a super easy and healthy meal. It's origins are in Israel and other parts of the Middle East. It’s a simple combination of tomatoes, onions, garlic, spices and gently poached eggs. It is a very tasty dish and enjoyed by all. I generally add a lot more vegetables to it to make it healthier.

Try it out!

What are the steps??

1. Heat butter and oil in a pan. Add the garlic and onion and saute till the onion is soft.

3. When the veges are half cooked, add the tomato puree. Cook till the tomatoes are cooked and most of the water is gone.
4. Add all the spices and mix well together. 
5. Now, add about 2 tablespoon water to make the mixture slightly runny.
6. After this, use your spatula to make little holes for the eggs, then crack an egg into each hole. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on each egg to ensure they have taste of their own.

7. Now cover and let it simmer for 5-8 mins.
