Shakshuka

Categories RecipesLeave a Comment on Shakshuka

I do not know what it is about Shakshuka, but every time I saw photos of this dish I had a burning desire to make it. Shakshuka is a Maghrebi dish, originating in North Africa. It’s often a dish served for breakfast but I decided to follow Downshiftology’s recipe and create a ‘breakfast for dinner’ moment. I paired this with some homemade sourdough bread, as this dish is perfect for dipping. You definitely do not want any of those eggy-tomatoey bits to go to waste!

Ingredients

  • 2 TBSP Olive Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion, diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper, seeded & diced
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 TSP Paprika
  • 1 TSP Cumin
  • 1/4 TSP Chili Powder
  • 1 28oz can Whole Peeled Tomatoes/ I used diced tomatoes & worked out perfectly
  • 2 eggs [ it’s just me so obvi of there are more of you cook 2 eggs per person]
  • 1 TSP Cilantro
  • 1 TSP Parsley
  • 1 bunch fresh Mint

Let’s Get Cooking

Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan on MED heat.

Add in the bell pepper + onion and cook for about 5 min, until the onion becomes translucent. Add in garlic + paprika + cumin + chili powder and mix well to incorporate.

Pour in the tomatoes + juice and using a wooden spatula break down the tomatoes, you can skip this part if you are using chopped tomatoes. Season with salt + pepper and bring to a simmer

Using a large spoon, make a well into the sauce and crack an egg into each well. Cook the egg for about 5-8 minutes or until your liking.

Top with parsley + cilantro + mint & serve with crusty bread.

I hope this dish lives up to your hopes like it did for me.

Made with Love,

Fried Green Tomatoes

Categories Recipes5 Comments on Fried Green Tomatoes

With the fresh tomato season coming to an end, I had a surplus of green tomatoes that hadn’t quite ripened yet. I decided that it was better to use them then let them go to waste, so here we are making fried green tomatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4-6 Green Tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 Cup Bread Crumbs
  • 1/2 Cup Corn Meal
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3/4 Cup Milk
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1 TBSP Paprika
  • 1 TBSP Garlic Powder
  • Salt + Pepper
  • Goat Cheese

Let’s Get Cooking

Grab your large frying pan and pour in a thin layer of vegetable oil, just enough to cover the tomato slices.

Season the tomato slices with salt + pepper

Whisk together eggs + milk in a small bowl. On a small plate combine bread crumbs + corn meal+ paprika + garlic powder + salt + pepper and mix.

Take the sliced tomato and coat in bread crumbs, then egg wash, then bread crumbs again. Repeat this process with the rest of the tomatoes.

Place the breaded tomatoes into the hot oil. Cook about 3-5 min each side, or until browned. Remove from oil and place on paper towels.

Once done, stack the tomatoes with goat cheese in between layers. Serve with your fav marinara sauce or as is!

Always Hungry,
