I combined my 2 favorite brunch items today and they were delicious together

Deconstructed shakshuka : this is how I like to make shakshuka – with a fried egg rather than poached (it’s easier and less messy and I like the crispy fried edges of the egg)

Sauce: 1 tbsp olive oil – add 1 tbsp cumin seeds and heat till they sputter and turn color. Add 1 diced onion and 1 diced red pepper. Cook over medium to high heat till onions brown. Add 1 14 oz can of tomatoes with 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1tbsp gochuang paste (not essential but delicious), 1 tsp soya sauce and cook for 10 min. Add salt and chilli powder to taste (about 1 tsp of each). Finish with 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Top onion, tomato, pepper mixture with fried egg when ready to serve.

Serve with dosa in place of bread

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
