Confit Tomato and Chickpea Shakshuka
Ingredients:
- 600g grape tomatoes
- 300g Spanish onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 5 small garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 coarsely black pepper
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 dried chilli flakes
- 270g canned chickpeas, drained
- Free range eggs
- Extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chilli flakes and finely chopped flat leaf parsley for garnish + pita breads to serve
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 170c fan-forced
- Place the onions, garlic and grape tomatoes in an oven safe pan. Season with salt, pepper, oregano and chilli flakes. Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake on 180c for 1hr uncovered.
- Remove tomatoes from oven and allow to cool slightly. Blend the roasted tomato mixture using a stick blender or regular blender (be mindful the tomatoes may splutter when blending and not to burn yourself).
- Pour the sauce back into your pan and stir through the chickpeas until they’re completely coated in the sauce.
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, make little divets in the sauce and then carefully crack your eggs into each divet.
- Cover the shakshuka with a lid and place over a medium-medium/low heat. Cook for approximately 8 - 12 minutes or until your eggs reach your favourite consistency.
- Garnish with salt, pepper, chilli flakes, extra virgin olive oil and flat leaf parsley. Serve straight from the pan with your favourite bread. Enjoy,
