Instructions
- 01
Fry veggies and spices first: Heat your olive oil in a grill-safe pan and add your garlic and onion. Fry for a couple of minutes and allow them to soften.
- 02
Add diced pepper, cumin, smoked paprika and give it all a good stir. Cook for a couple more minutes until you can smell the spices.
- 03
Tomatoes in to simmer: Add the tinned tomatoes, half a can of water and salt and pepper. Stir well and put a lid on and cook for about 15 minutes. (Check it during this time as it may need a little more water if it's drying out.)
- 04
Preheat the grill: Turn it to HOT.
- 05
Add in the eggs: When the sauce is thick and delicious, remove the pan lid, make a well in the sauce and break an egg into the hole. Repeat for all of the eggs.
- 06
Allow them to cook on the hob for a couple of minutes until you can see the bottom of the eggs starting to set and turn white.
- 07
Grill to finish: Put the pan under a hot grill (broiler) for about 5 minutes until the egg whites are fully white and cooked through and the yolks are nice and runny.
- 08
To serve: Scatter over the chopped parsley and crumble over the feta before serving.

Variations & swaps
Substitutions
- Pepper (Bell pepper) – You can swap this for any veggies you fancy. Aubergines (eggplant), courgettes (zucchini) or sweet potatoes would work well. You will just need to allow for extra cooking time.
- Shakshuka with meat – Add fried chorizo, bacon lardons or pancetta for a more meaty dish.
