1 pkg.
omami Tasty Nature Tofu, cut into 2 cm cubes
1
handful of fresh chopped flat-leaf parsley or coriander leaves
Preparation
- Sauté the onion, garlic and chilli in 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the bell pepper strips, chili powder, cumin and ras-el-hanout to the pan and fry over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Deglaze with the diced tomatoes, stir well, bring to the boil briefly and season with 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently on a low heat for 10-15 minutes. The slow simmering helps the flavors to combine well and the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Season the sauce again with salt and pepper to taste. Use the back of a spoon to make small indentations in the sauce, carefully crack the eggs into them and poach, covered, over a low heat for 5-7 minutes until the egg whites have set and the yolks are still slightly runny. You can also poach the eggs for longer if you wish.
- In the meantime, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the tofu cubes for 1-2 minutes until crispy on all sides.
- As soon as the eggs are ready, remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle the shakshuka with the tofu cubes and fresh parsley or coriander and serve straight from the pan.
Happy omami. Enjoy the taste!
