If you enjoy traditional shakshuka, you’ll love this green and coconutty version of this North African favourite.
Shakshuka is a breakfast dish that has existed since the mid-16th century after tomatoes were introduced to the region of Ottoman, North Africa.
It consists of poached eggs, cooked in a sauce made from tomatoes, olive oil, peppers, onion and garlic. The spices which are commonly used when preparing this dish are cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg.
To elevate the taste of the dish and create a hotter and spicier version of a shakshuka recipe, try adding a couple of drops of your favourite Nando’s hot sauce.
You shakshuka can be served with toast, or a light starch of your choice.
*Cook’s tip: If you don’t have leeks handy, you can simply omit and add an extra onion.
