White Bean Shakshuka
Yield: 2-4 servings
Cook Time: 18 minutes
Total Time: 18 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 tomatoes, diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 0.5 chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 250ml (1 cup) water
- 1 (400g) tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 4 eggs
- Parsley, to garnish
- Crumbled feta, to garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or pan and add the white onion and red pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring often, then add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add the tomato paste and seasonings, stir them into the vegetables for about a minute, then add the diced tomatoes and water.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper, and then leave the sauce to simmer and reduce down for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Tip in the cannellini beans, and stir them into the sauce. Crush down about ¼ of the beans to thicken the sauce, and let the beans simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Make 4 wells in the pan and crack your eggs into each. Cover the pan and leave the eggs to poach for 5-6 minutes.
- Top the shakshuka with the chopped parsley and crumbled feta. For added spice, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Notes
For perfect poached eggs, over the pan while poaching to keep the heat even, and check frequently to avoid overcooking the yolks (I made this mistake many times when first cooking this recipe!).
Thicker sauce: Mash more beans or let the sauce simmer a little longer if you prefer a thicker consistency.
I would recommend using a regular pan – like a stainless steel frying pan or one like this for shakshuka, as opposed to a cast iron skillet, as the tomato sauce tends to stick and can give your shakshuka a slightly acidic taste.
