Shakshuka – Tomato & Chickpea Baked Eggs

Shakshuka – Tomato & Chickpea Baked Eggs is a one-pan, flavour-packed dish with rich spiced tomatoes, hearty chickpeas, and perfectly baked eggs. Ready in 30 mins!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red pepper, sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes
  • 1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained

  • Crumbled feta or Greek yoghurt (optional)
  • Sourdough or flatbread, to serve

Let's Dive In!

Step 1: Spiced base

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook 1 chopped onion and 1 sliced red pepper for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika and ½ tsp chilli flakes and stir for 1 minute.

Step 2: Simmer

Pour in 400g tin chopped tomatoes and 400g tin chickpeas, drained. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

Step 3: Add the eggs

Make small wells in the sauce and crack in 4 eggs. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes until the whites are set.

Step 4: Serve

Scatter over chopped fresh coriander or parsley and some crumbled feta or Greek yoghurt if you like. Serve straight from the pan with warm sourdough or my homemade flatbreads.

Shakshuka FAQs

  • How do I get runny yolks? Take it off the heat as soon as the whites are set. The yolks keep cooking in the hot sauce.
  • Can I make the sauce ahead? Yes. It keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat until bubbling, then add the eggs.
  • Where does shakshuka come from? It's a North African and Middle Eastern one-pan classic, eaten any time of day.

More one-pan comfort: my simple Moroccan veggie tagine and cheesy stuffed mushrooms.

BIFF, BOSH, NOSH!
