Ratatouille Shakshuka, gluten-free
Serves 4
Prep 10 minutes
Cook 20 minutes
Pan Size 30cm
INGREDIENTS
Ratatouille:
4-6 eggs (I love using Yallamumdi Farm eggs)
400g can crushed tomatoes
400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 large brown onion, sliced
1 medium eggplant, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 small red capsicum chopped
1 small green or yellow capsicum chopped
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Seasonings:
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano
Serving options:
4 slices of toasted bread, gluten-free
1 avocado, diced
½ cup crumbled feta
Handful of fresh basil leaves
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the vegetables: In a wide pan and over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, and eggplant and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add the zucchini, red capsicum, and yellow or green capsicum and sauté for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften.
2. Cook the sauce: Next add the tomatoes, chickpeas, chilli flakes, marjoram (or oregano), sea salt, and pepper and stir through to combine well. Add a quarter of a cup of water to the can of tomatoes, swirl it around to collect any leftover tomato bits, and add it to the pan as well. Lightly simmer, cover with a lid, and cook for 10 minutes over a low heat, checking halfway and giving it a stir.
3. Add the eggs: With the back of a spoon, make 4-6 wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well, season with sea salt and pepper, and cover the pan for 3-5 minutes to allow the eggs to set softly or firmly, as preferred.
4. To serve: Remove from the heat, serve with toasted gluten-free bread, and garnish with fresh basil leaves, feta, diced avocado, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
