Shakshuka recipe
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
2 onions, roughly chopped
2T olive oil
1t salt
1t cumin seeds
2t cumin powder
1t turmeric
1t chilli flakes/smoked paprika (optional)
2 cans chopped tomato
4 eggs
Parsley to serve
Greens like rocket and wilted spinach (optional)
Method:
Cook onions in oil with salt until browned.
Add cumin seeds. After 1 minute, add cumin powder and turmeric.
Add chilli/smoked paprika, if using.
Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Reduce until it’s not too runny, then lower heat.
Crack one egg at a time into a mug. Make a little hole in the tomato mix and pour egg into the hole. Repeat.
Cover with a lid and check until egg is cooked through.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve with greens, if you wish.
Top tip:
Use chickpeas instead of eggs and stir through the tomato sauce. This will not be as low carb! 1 cup chickpeas has about 49g carbs.
