Child-Friendly Egg Shakshuka with Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce – hungryboo index

Ingredients:

  • 1 pouch Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper, finely chopped (use sweet bell peppers like red, yellow, or orange)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Crusty bread or pita for serving

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables: 

  • In a large pan, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  • Add the finely chopped onion and bell pepper to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

2. Add the Sauce and Spices:

  • Pour the Hungry Boo Tomato Basil Sauce into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine.
  • Add a pinch of cumin powder (if using) for extra flavour. These spices are optional and can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Season with a little salt, adjusting to taste.
  • Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
  • Add the Eggs:
  • Use a spoon to create small wells in the sauce for the eggs.
  • Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolk.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. For fully cooked yolks, cook for a few more minutes.

3. Garnish and Serve:

  • Once the eggs are cooked to your child's liking, remove the pan from heat.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
  • Serve the shakshuka with crusty bread or pita for dipping into the sauce and eggs.
