Easy
PREP TIME:
COOK TIME:
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 brown onion thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 red capsicum (pepper) finely diced
  • 1 tsp ground smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp ground mixed spice
  • 800 g diced tomatoes
  • 50 g tomato paste
  • 4 eggs
  • 8 olives
  • 108 g haloumi
  • olive oil for cooking
  • sea salt

To serve

  • 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley roughly chopped
  • crusty bread toasted

Method

  • Sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat in a heavy based fry pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Once the onion becomes transparent, add the diced capsicum and continue to sauté for a further couple of minutes, until the capsicum starts to soften.
  • Add the spices and stir through.
  • Pour in the can of diced tomatoes along with the tomato paste and a good pinch of sea salt. Stir through, place a lid on, slightly ajar, and turn the heat down slightly to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. If the sauce is too thick a little water can be added.
  • Once the sauce is thick and rich, make a little well and gently crack an egg into it, repeat the process for all 4 eggs. Add the olives around the eggs and place the lid back on and allow to simmer until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  • While the eggs are cooking warm up another fry pan to medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Slice the halloumi into 4-5mm thick slices and gently fry on each slide until golden brown.
  • Serve the shakshuka in its cooking pan with the grilled halloumi placed over the top and a handful of freshly chopped parsley sprinkled over, with toasted crusty bread to the side.
