No Bake Shakshuka

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!

Ingredients
  

  • 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
  • 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!
