Allergens

Eggs, Gluten (from the harissa toast points)

Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1 medium onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 large eggs
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Olive oil, for cooking
• For Harissa Toast Points:
• 8 slices of bread, preferably day
• old
• 1/2 cup harissa paste (store
• bought or homemade)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 4 minutes.
2. Stir in the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, allowing the spices to toast and fragrance the oil.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to break down and release their juices, about 5 7 minutes.
4. Reduce the heat to low and create four small wells in the tomato mixture, being careful not to disturb the sauce. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and black pepper. Cover the skillet and cook for 6 8 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
5. While the shakshuka is cooking, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 8 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and rub each slice with a little harissa paste, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. To serve, place two toast points next to each portion of shakshuka. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy your Moroccan inspired breakfast!
