Preparation
1
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm strips.
Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop half a chilli (use all for 4P and 6P).
Finely chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, fry the onion, garlic and chopped chilli (use less if you don't like spice)until fragrant, 2 mins.
Add the pepper, paprika, chopped tomatoes and half the chopped parsley.
If you like, add a pinch of sugar to cut the acidity of the sauce.
3
Add 60ml water (per 2P) to the pan.
Bring to the boil while stirring, then cover with the lid and simmer over medium-high heat until slightly reduced, 5-6 mins.
Once simmered, stir through the harissa paste.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add another splash of water if the sauce becomes too dry.
4
Make small craters in the sauce, then crack in the eggs (1-2 per person).
Season with salt and pepper and crumble over the goat's cheese.
Cover and allow the eggs to cook, 5-6 mins.
When 3 mins of cooking time remain, remove the lid and increase the heat a little to evaporate any excess water.
TIP: Not a fan of goat's cheese? Don't worry, it will still be delicious without!
5
While shakshouka simmers, halve the ciabatta lengthways then widthways.
Pop the ciabatta into the oven.
Cook until warmed through, 2-3 mins.
6
Divide the goat's cheese shakshouka between bowls.
Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.
Serve the ciabatta on the side, tearing off chunks to mop up the sauce.
