Poached eggs in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce topped with creamy goat cheese.

This vibrant Shakshuka recipe transforms simple pantry staples and fresh vegetables into a rich, savory lunch. By simmering eggs in a spiced tomato and bell pepper sauce, you create a high-protein meal that is deeply comforting. The addition of tangy goat cheese cuts through the acidity of the tomatoes, while whole wheat toast provides the perfect vessel for scooping up the runny yolks and thick sauce. Packed with fiber and healthy fats, this North African-inspired dish is quick to assemble but tastes like a slow-cooked feast.

Ingredients

1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 small Red Onion
1 medium Red Bell Pepper
2 cloves Garlic
400 g Tomatoes
1 tbsp Tomato Paste
1 tsp Paprika
0.5 tsp Coriander Powder
4 large Eggs
60 g Goat Cheese
1 tbsp Frozen Parsley
4 slices Wholewheat Bread

Instructions

1
Dice the red onion and red bell pepper. Finely mince the garlic. Chop the tomatoes.
2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion and red bell pepper, cooking for 5-7 minutes until soft.
3
Stir in the garlic, paprika, and coriander powder. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt to taste.
5
Make 4 small wells in the sauce with a spoon. Gently crack an egg into each well.
6
Cover the skillet with a lid (or foil) and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
7
Remove from heat. Crumble goat cheese over the top and garnish with frozen parsley.
8
Serve immediately with toasted wholewheat bread for dipping.

Chef's Tips

•If you like it spicy, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the tomato base.
•Watch the eggs closely; they continue to cook in the hot sauce even after you remove the pan from the heat.
