Harissa Shakshuka with Silken Tofu

Ingredients

Shakshuka

  • 1 onion
  • 2 red peppers
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika (good quality)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 heaped tbsp smoked chilli harissa
  • 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
  • Pinch of sugar
  • Salt & pepper

Tofu eggs

  • 300g silken tofu
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (Nooch)
  • Small pinch turmeric
  • Salt to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Sliced mild red chilli
  • Crusty sourdough

Preparation

  1. Prepare the ingredients by dicing the onion and peppers, peeling and grating the garlic, chopping the parsley, and slicing the bread.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and slightly golden. Stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin, and harissa. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, then add the tomatoes and a pinch of sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10-15 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. While the sauce is simmering, blend the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and salt in a blender until smooth and creamy.

  4. Preheat the grill to high. Make 4-6 small wells in the sauce and pour in the tofu mixture. Grill for 5-7 minutes until the tofu is just set with a little wobble.

  5. Serve by drizzling with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkling with sliced chili and parsley, and serving with crusty sourdough.
