Shakshuka is so awesome - fairly simple meal to make, but so savory!

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I agree, and it's full of vegetables! This ended up being 3 eggs, 2 tomatoes, 1/2 of a bell pepper, and 1/4 of an onion.

I recently made my first shakshuka as well! So damn tasty.

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That looks so tasty!!

I think the time has come for me to try to make this.

[–] kosure@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's stupidly easy and works well with any sauce that you're happy to dip bread in.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do tell. Other sauces? Bread dipping?

[–] kosure@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Pan-fried eggs in sauce is a really versatile technique. I think what tried to say was that any quality of tomato sauce you like will work well to make a good shakshuka, from jarred to freshly made. But you can also use other sauces: green salsa, and pesto eggs are good too. I do like to have some kinda starch ready, if it's saucy. Or just for runny yolks. Pita, tortilla, crusty loaf; whatever's most appreciate

foodporn content is so much better here than on Reddit. It’s refreshing.

That 29 year old single girl did a great job.

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what you're talking about haha. Care to enlighten me?

[–] morganth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I had shakshuka for dinner tonight too. It was greens-based rather than tomato-based but still delicious.

[–] Electric_Druid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Looks so good!

I want some!

[–] abrer@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any recipes you would recommend I start with? I've heard of but never tried this dish and I'd like to experiment :D

It's so easy, and you can serve it directly from the cooking pan! :)

  • Bring a stainless steel or nonstick pan up to medium temp, then add in enough olive oil to coat the pan
  • Crank some fresh cracked pepper into the pan and fry for a minute or two
  • Dice 1/4 onion and cook it until it's translucent
  • Dice 1/2 a pepper and cook until it's softening
  • Quarter 2 tomatoes and add them to the pan.
  • Once they become soft, pull the skins off your tomatoes with tongs and mash the remaining flesh into a pulp
  • Toss in oregano and salt to taste.
  • Cook until things go from runny water to jammy sauce, about 5 minutes
  • Make divot in the sauce and crack an egg into each void, salting the eggs for taste
  • For set tops, cook the eggs covered for 3 minutes or so
  • Remove from heat when eggs are about halfway to your desired texture
  • Serve with parsley garnish and enjoy!
