Shakshouka
Also known as: شكشوكة
Eggs and extra yolks set in a spiced tomato-and-red-pepper sauce.
About Shakshouka
Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi present this shakshuka in Jerusalem as a summer and early-autumn Tunisian-style version. Tomatoes and red peppers form the sauce around whole eggs and additional yolks.
The selected harissa branch joins tomato purée, garlic and ground cumin in olive oil. Fresh ripe tomatoes supply the body of the sauce, retaining the seasonal version described by the authors.
Eggs sit in small wells in the thickened sauce before portions are spooned onto individual plates. Labneh and good white bread are the accompaniments supplied in this published rendition, with their complete product formulas left unspecified.
