I love shakshuka but weekend mornings are lazy mornings for us and I hate the idea of turning my oven on

Here is my very quick deconstructed shakshuka- ish recipe. Dare I say – I like the crispy eggs better than the baked ones?

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil, add 1 tbsp cumin seeds and 1 tbsp fennel seeds. Add one small diced onion and 1 small diced red pepper. Fry till charred in spots – add 1 tbsp of tomato paste and 1 tsp Tabasco sauce.

Fry egg: I like to fry it in a little butter with a lid on top so the whites are crispy and cooked and the yolk is still runny.

Plate: pepper-onions on bottom, egg on top. Garnish with feta or cilantro or anything else

I served this with Stella Parks shelf stable cardamom and saffron pancakes but that is a story for another day
