Middle Eastern Shakshuka Breakfast Recipe By Chef Jeeny Maltese

Middle Eastern Shakshuka Breakfast Recipe By Chef Jeeny Maltese. Having poached eggs Shakshuka style for breakfast involves poaching the eggs in a earthy paprika tomato sauce, spiced lightly with chilli and capsicum. One of my favourite meals of the day, it is breakfast or brunch! But you can easily have it as dinner or lunch. Always tasty and so satisfying.

Ingredients:
15 ml (1 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 red capsicum (pepper), finely diced
2 red chillies, finely diced
2 Tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
425 g tomato passata
½ tsp brown sugar
500 g kale, stalks removed and finely sliced
6 eggs
1 small handful parsley sprigs
fresh crusty sourdough bread, to serve (or any favourite bread)

Method:
1. Heat the oil in a medium heavy-based frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, pepper and chilli. 2. Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelised.
3. Add the tomato paste, paprika and cumin and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the tomato and sugar, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 15–20 minutes.
4. Add the kale and stir through the tomato sauce. Crack the eggs one by one into the tomato mixture in the pan.
5. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked the way you like. Sprinkle over some fresh parsley, season with salt and pepper, and serve with fresh crusty sourdough bread.
