Shakshuka

Here's a recipe for the brave....

It's a traditional Israeli breakfast called shakshuka.

All the ingredients are approximate.....

Fry up an onion with some capsicum and add some fresh, ripe tomatoes or use a can, and boil slowly. Add some chilli and cumin.

When I used to make it at home, I didn't add any spices, but cumin is traditional.

When the tomatoes are all soft and mushy and it's just about ready, drop in a couple of eggs to poach and close the lid.

Cook for 3 - 5 minutes depending on how hard you like the egg yolks.

It can also be made in a small paella pan and finished off in the oven.

Serve with crusty bread....dip and eat.
