Shakshuka

A really nice tomato sauce with vegetables, really well spiced with a lot of flavour. Traditionally you create a dip in it and crack an egg into it to solidify whilst its cooking but I add tofu blocks instead.

Ingredients

For 1 person

• 1 quarter pepper (any or multiple colours)
• half an onion
• 1-2 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp sweet paprika (smoked is fine too)
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• chilli flakes (however much you want, 0 is fine)
• 1/2 can of chopped tomatos
• tofu
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped mint

optionally:

• a few chopped cherry tomatoes to go in with pepper
• spring onion to go in with pepper or on top

Method

1. Using olive oil, head onion, pepper, garlic, all spices, chilli plus salt and pepper. Cook till veg is soft.
2. Add chopped tomato and leave to simmer with lid on for 5 minutes
3. Add tofu to surface and leave for another 5
4. Add parsley and mint onto surface, serve with nice bread or on its own.
