Helpful Tips

Choose ripe veggies: Use the freshest summer vegetables you can find. Their natural sweetness balances the acidity of the tomato sauce.


Spice it up: For a deeper flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of cayenne to the tomato sauce. It brings out the savory warmth that makes shakshuka stand out.


Perfectly poached eggs: Make small wells in the sauce and gently crack the eggs into them. Cover the pan with a lid to help cook the eggs evenly. Cook until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny for that perfect creamy texture.


Add cheese: Crumbled feta, goats cheese or grated parmesan sprinkled over the dish before serving adds a nice salty bite and rich texture.


Serve with crusty bread: While this is naturally gluten-free, pairing it with a rustic loaf or gluten-free bread allows you to soak up every last bit of sauce!

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

½ paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon oregano


Serving options:

4 slices of toasted bread, gluten-free (exclude for grain free meal)

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, paprika, 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.
