Techniques

Heat a lot of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high; add diced onions, mushrooms and salt and cook about 10 minutes until the liquid is gone and they turn golden.
Shakshuka: onions, mushrooms and peppers
  • diced sweet red bell pepper
  • red Jimmy Nardello pepper
  • 1 whole jalapeno
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, the Jimmy Nardello pepper and the sliced jalapeno; cook about 5 minutes until starting to soften.
  • cumin
  • paprika
  • turmeric
  • cayenne
  • freshly ground black pepper
Add the cumin, paprika, turmeric, cayenne and black pepper and cook a minute or two so they flavour the oil.
  • crushed San Marzano tomatoes
  • water
Add the crushed tomatoes and a splash of water; simmer on about medium, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes; taste for salt.
  • 5 whole eggs
Make five wells with a spoon; crack each egg into a ramekin and slide it in; season each with salt and pepper.
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
Simmer on about medium, covered (a sheet pan works as a lid), until the eggs are cooked to taste, taking them off a little early since they keep cooking.
  • feta cheese
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Italian parsley
Crumble over feta, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and scatter Italian parsley.
  • toast
Serve sauce in the bowl, an egg on top and more sauce, with a slice of toast and a few drops of olive oil.
