Shakshuka but with biscuits because I could make them fast and cheap. And a little extra fat with leftover avocado.

Cost: $3.50 per person if you don't have to pay for eggs because you have chickens. Otherwise I think it's $35.

Love me some Shakahuka!

Here’s a recipe that I’ve tried and can highly recommend for anyone wanting to try some.

Here is my recipe. I do variations at times like browning a pound of ground lamb and seasoning it with the same dry spice blend and amount as in the recipe. And adding it to the mix at the simmer stage.

  • Shakshuka
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 Pinch red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 5 large eggs
  • cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • cup chopped cilantro leaves
  • ! Serve with crusty bread
  • Saute the onions and pepper on medium heat until translucent and maybe even a little browned
  • Stir in the garlic and spices for 30 seconds
  • Deglaze with the juice from the canned tomatoes
  • Add the tomatoes and beat them up with a wooden spoon to break them down into smaller chunks
  • Reduce heat to simmer and put the lid on
  • Simmer for 15 minutes
  • Make a well for each egg and place an egg in each.
  • Adjust heat to medium low.
  • Put the lid back on and cook for 5 minutes
  • Serve.

Thanks so much for sharing! ♥️

The addition of avocado is inspired.

One small reason I was happy for peace in Syria was finally getting real Aleppo peppers again

ETA: Southern biscuits, west coast avocados, and middle eastern shakshukah is a supremely American dish

Man, I would love to try shakshuka some day, I’ve never seen it anywhere I’m at though. Sad.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's ridiculously easy to make at home.

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's mostly just reduced tomato, onion, smoked paprika and a few other things, with some eggs poached in it at the end and maybe some feta and fresh coriander sprinkled on top, super simple easy dish, go for it!

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Saute bell peppers or other milder peppers high enough to get colour or maybe a light char on them. Gets some smokiness in there with that paprika.

It had better be for the fortune it would cost to make it! 😅

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny lookin biscuits m8, certainly not digestives xD

Love me some shakshuka, good man yourself!

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

American style "Southern" biscuit. Like a scone but incredibly fluffy and buttery. There is a video of British kids trying one and you can see the moment their life changes as they take their first bite.

[–] floppybiscuits@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Am from southern US, my grandma would not approve 😂

[–] Nuerion@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

gotta cook your biscuits a little longer they look under

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

They were perfect.
