Shakshuka

We enjoyed this lovely shakshuka with friends on Sunday brunch and the leftover tomato sauce served as tomoato sauce for the pasta at dinner. Recipe is below, if you want left over tomato sauce just double the sauce ingredients and save half of it before adding the eggs.

1 small onion chopped

1 red pepper chopped

4 garlic cloves, crushed

4. Pour in the tomatoes from the tin and bring to simmer, add the sugar and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.

5. Crack the first eggs in a small bowl, using a wooden spoon move the tomato sauce aside in the pan and pour the egg to the space. repeat the same with rest of the eggs.
