Mshewsha Algerian Egg Dish For Breakfast Or Coffee Recipes

ALGERIAN M'SHEWSHA. NO OIL - HEALTHIER VERSION!!! BREAKFAST DISH

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a blender & whizz until thoroughly combined & thick bubbly batter has formed.
• Brush a medium sized frying pan / skillet with oil or butter & heat on low. Pour the batter into the pan & cook on a low heat for approximately 15 minutes or until the M'shewsha has risen, pulled away from the edges & looks mostly set on the top.
• Carefully flip the M'shewsha over. To do this, carefully slide it onto a large dinner plate. Then place the frying pan over the top of the dinner plate & gently invert to flip the M'shewsha back into the pan.
• Cook on low for a further 15 minutes.
• Warm the honey until it is easily pourable.
• Turn out onto a large plate, slice into 8 pieces. Pour the honey over the top of the M'shewsha & serve warm or at room temperature later.

ALGERIAN POACHED EGGS (CHAKCHOUKA)

Steps:

• In a deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seed to the hot oil for about 15 seconds before you add the paprika. Stir in paprika and let cook slightly to color the oil, about 10-15 seconds.
• Add the onions and garlic (add optional harissa here) and sauté until onions are translucent and wilted but not browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and bring to a rapid simmer. Add peppers (also add seeded and diced chili peppers here if using) & potatoes, water and salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes. Add more water as needed.
• Form four small indentations in the simmering peppers to hold the eggs. Crack eggs, one by one, into a small bowl and slide each egg into an indentation. Cover and simmer another 10 minutes or so until eggs are cooked through.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro and optional black olives and capers.
• Serve with crusty bread or rice.
