Customise your shakshuka!
There’s no one definitive recipe when it comes to shakshuka, so you have plenty of scope for creativity:
- Go Green: Swap the tomatoes and sweet potato for a mix of peas, kale or spinach, leeks and fresh herbs. Once the eggs are cooked, scatter with feta or a few dollops of yoghurt.
- Spice it up: Use a spicy chorizo and add a few fresh chillis at step 2. Serve with harissa.
- Bulk it up: Add a can of lentils, butterbeans or chickpeas at step 2.
