No Bake Shakshuka

No Bake Shakshuka (or Shakshouka), is one of our favourite comfort meals. Although we enjoy it year-round it is more commonly found on our table in the winter.

This is not a “traditional” Shakshuka but is certainly inspired by it. I appreciate that a basic recipe can be adapted to use whatever you have in the fridge/pantry to make it new and exciting.

It starts with some veggies, spices, and a tomato base, then finishes with eggs cooked right in the flavourful sauce. Scoop out a portion of sauce, with an egg, then serve with hot sauce and garlic toast for dipping! So good!

It was a pleasure to create this recipe in partnership with Egg Farmers of Canada. Opinions in this post are always my own.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion diced
• 1 yellow pepper diced
• 1 jalapeño diced
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 14 ounce can diced tomatoes (400 mL)
• ½ cup chickpeas drained & rinsed
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh basil for serving

Instructions

 

• Heat oil in an 11-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, yellow pepper, and jalapeño, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
• Add the thyme, oregano, garlic, and tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
• Add the diced tomatoes and bring to a low boil, reduce heat to medium-low add the chickpeas and simmer, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper then stir in feta.
• Using the bottom of a ladle, make four indentations into the sauce for the eggs. Crack eggs one at a time and place into the individual indentations.
• Cook until egg whites have set, but the yolks are still runny, approximately 6-8 minutes. If the top of the eggs is not setting up as desired, cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes. Do not leave the lid on too long or you will lose the yellow in the yolk.
• Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
