Shakshuka With Red Peppers And Cumin Recipes

EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet. Add the onions, green peppers, garlic, spices, pinch salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook a bit longer to allow the mixture to reduce and thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
• Using a wooden spoon, make 6 indentations, or "wells," in the tomato mixture (make sure the indentations are spaced out). Gently crack an egg into each indention.
• Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and cook on low until the egg whites are set.
• Uncover and add the fresh parsley and mint. You can add more black pepper or crushed red pepper, if you like. Serve with warm pita, challah, or crusty bread of your choice.

SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the Sauce and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low. Crack an egg into a small bowl, make a divot in the sauce, and add the egg. Repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them evenly around the skillet. Sprinkle the feta on top, avoiding the yolks so as not to break them.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, 10 to 13 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it just turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SHAKSHUKA WITH RED PEPPERS AND CUMIN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the pilpelchuma or harissa, tomato paste, peppers, garlic, cumin, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes to allow the peppers to soften. Add the tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for a further 10 minutes until you have quite a thick sauce. Taste for seasoning.
• Make 8 little dips in the sauce. Gently break the eggs and carefully pour each into its own dip. Do the same with the yolks. Use a fork to swirl the egg whites a little bit with the sauce, taking care not to break the yolks. Simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny (you can cover the pan with a lid if you wish to hasten the process). Remove from the heat, leave for a couple of minutes to settle, then spoon into individual plates and serve with the labneh or yogurt.

SHAKSHUKA BURRITO WITH ROASTED PEPPER SALSA AND TZATZIKI

Steps:

• To make the roasted red pepper salsa: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has a slightly coarse texture. Season to taste. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• To make the quick tzatziki: Mix together all the ingredients and season to taste. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, put in a bowl, top with extra virgin olive oil, paprika and chopped mint and dill.
• To make the Shakshuka breakfast burrito: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt on a sheet tray. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to blister and burst.
• Season the eggplant slices with salt and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit at least 10 minutes to release the excess moisture from the eggplant and then chop into ¼-inch dice.
• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 5 minutes or until soft and lightly brown. Add the garlic, spices and 1 teaspoon salt and cook another 1-2 minutes or until the spices are toasted and very fragrant. Stir in the sweet potatoes and cook, about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly brown. Next add in the eggplant and cook another 5 minutes until the eggplant begins to soften. Add the remaining vegetables, cover with a lid and cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring as needed, or until the vegetables are tender and the eggplant has broken down. The eggplant will have the texture of refried beans. Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium heat add a splash of olive oil. Fry the eggs, in batches if needed, to your desired temperature. Set aside.
• On a clean work surface lay out 1 tortilla. Spread 1 tablespoon of quick tzatziki over the bottom third of the tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border. Spread 1 tablespoon of roasted tomato salsa over the yogurt sauce. Next evenly layer 1 cup of the cooked vegetables over the sauces and 4-5 roasted tomatoes, followed by 1/4 of a sliced avocado and a fried egg. Fold the bottom of the burrito up over the filling as much as possible. Fold the two sides into the center and then continue rolling the burrito until closed. Repeat building the remaining burritos.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and place the burritos seam side down on the hot pan to seal the burrito completely. Serve immediately with the extra quick tzatziki and roasted tomato salsa.
