Shakshuka pizza

Well, it’s a ‘kinda’ pizza, one without a base! A fusion of Middle Eastern and Italian flavours our Shakshuka Pizza is a gorgeous easy supper, ready in minutes, looking and tasting beautiful.

To be honest you don’t need to measure much with a dish like this, you can’t go wrong with it. You can add other flavours such as paprika or cayenne to suit your taste, mess about with it. This one has chilli and mixed herbs for a spicy pizza vibe. The eggs take a while, that’s why you need a lid to trap the heat, it creates a bit of steam in there what with the milky mozzarella, but you can tip any excess liquid away.

Beautiful with a vibrant green salad and crystal clear glass of iced water.

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 red and 1 yellow pepper in thin strips (I use frozen mixed sliced peppers too)

1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 red chilli, finely chopped
olive oil for frying
2 free range organic eggs
125g buffalo mozzarella roughly torn
1 tin of tomatoes
2 tbsp of tomato puree
1 tsp of dried mixed herbs
sea salt
pinch of sugar
black pepper
finely chopped parsley to serve

Instructions

Gently fry the onion, garlic and chilli until soft.

Add the peppers and cook until softened but still a bit crunchy.

Add the tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, herbs and sugar and simmer gently for ten mins to fuse the flavours.

Make a large wide well in the centre and add the eggs, then dot the torn mozzarella around.

Put a lid on the pan and cook until the eggs are done.
