1. Make sure you have cleaned the onions and the pepper and cut them into thin rings and strips. Also chop the parsley finely and clean the thyme if necessary.
2. In a shallow frying pan, toast the cumin with the ras el hanout.
3. Then put the oil in the pan with the onion and add some chilli (to taste). Fry this mixture gently for about 5-10 minutes.
4. Put the pepper strips in the pan together with the thyme and 2/3 of the parsley. The rest is for the garnish. Fry this for a further 5 minutes.
5. Pour the diced tomatoes into the pan and a bottle of thick tomato sauce (sugo).
6. Now let everything simmer for about 15 minutes. Make sure the mixture doesn't get too dry! If it does, add some water so that it remains a thick sauce. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
7. Then make four dimples in the pan for the eggs. First, break the eggs one at a time in a small bowl and then pour them into the dimples. Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the eggs and the rest. Put the lid on the pan and let the eggs cook over low heat for about 10-12 minutes.
👉🏽 Lekker met wat vers knapperig (stok)brood of ander ambachtelijk brood.
👉🏽 Dit gerecht is op allerlei manieren te maken en naar eigen smaak in te vullen. Hou je van koriander? Doe er dan koriander bij. Ben je geen liefhebber van ras el hanout: laat het dan weg. Je kunt ook een keer zoete aardappel op pompoen toevoegen voor een extra feestelijk tintje. Kook dan wel de pompoen of de aardappel eerst gaar. En tenslotte kun je de parmezaan vervangen door bijvoorbeeld feta.
Shakshuka (or Shakshouka) comes from Arabic cuisine and actually means 'mixture'. There are all kinds of variations and that makes it a beautifully colourful and imaginative dish.
