Chorizo Shakshuka w/ Olive Bread - An Easy, Home Cooked, Sunday Brunch Recipe
Shakshuka or shakshouka or chakchouka...however you spell it, it's a breakfast dish that hails from the Middle East and is essentially eggs baked in a spicy tomato sauce. Sounds simple? It is but it's absolutely delicious too.
Let's get to it!
Cooking Instructions
Step One
Ingredients required:
Pretty simple and most of these I already had at home!
Step Two
Slowly cook down the diced garlic and purple onion:
Step Three
Add the chopped chorizo and capsicum and saute until colour develops -- I'm not going to lie, I started picking at the dish already, it was already delicious at this point so I knew we were onto a winner !!
Look at this colour --
Step Four
Add tinned tomatoes
Step Five
Cook down until thick, add in eggs and pop into the oven for about 5 minutes.
Step Six
In the meantime slice up some bread, I picked up a beautiful olive loaf this morning:
Step Seven
Serve!
Closing Thoughts...
I was really disappointed as I slightly overcooked it, I swear I left it in by only another minute or two but it was enough to overcook the eggs :(. The texture you're looking for is a runny egg as it mixes into the tomato and creates a perfect sauce to dip the bread. Anyway, the taste and flavour was definitely all there so it wasn't all a fail - lesson learnt for next time, keep an eye on it in the oven!!
I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe, let me know if you've eaten it, made it or would be keen to try it! I can guarantee it is a super easy recipe to make. Most of the ingredients you would probably have at home and it takes hardly any time at all and makes you look like a pro brunch chef :)
Until next time...peace out Steemit fam!

This looks really good, I'll try to make it at some point. The wife says, that if she was not vegan, she would be all over it!
You could definitely make it vegan by perhaps replacing the chorizo with mushrooms and spinach? I've tried vegetarian versions before and they're pretty good. The tomato sauce is definitely what makes it :)

Hahahah at your mp3 track 😂. Oh no, is it all chorizo or just the dried ones? I use fresh chorizo if that makes a difference
Dry ones! I am too scared to try the normal ones 😂
Oh really how come ?? You don't like the heat? The normal ones actually taste a lot fresher and slightly more moist
Maybe in a past life, I was fed only with chorizos and in this life my body rejects them 😂
Looks delicious!! Followed you and visiting from @thealliance :)
Oh hello there @mariannewest !! So nice of you to check out my profile / post and hello from an Alpha Team Member! #thealliance I'll need to check out your profile also, thank you for stopping by :)
You are welcome - and I am going to make this dish soon. Looks so delicious :)
Sorry for late reply, been MIA and so flat out with work! Did you end up making the dish? If so I hope you didn't overcook the eggs like I accidentally did, oops.
