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
Prepare the ingredients by dicing the onion and peppers, peeling and grating the garlic, chopping the parsley, and slicing the bread.
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.
While the sauce is simmering, blend the silken tofu, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and salt in a blender until smooth and creamy.
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.
Serve by drizzling with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkling with sliced chili and parsley, and serving with crusty sourdough.
