Introduction
This dish of eggs cooked in a mildly spiced tomato sauce has become a staple on brunch menus. Because they’re baked in the sauce, the eggs end up with soft yolks with slightly jammy edges. I use a carton of 6 eggs to serve 3 people, but depending on how many you have to feed, you could use 8 eggs or 4 eggs – just add 200g more or less chopped tomatoes. Serve the shakshuka with toasted pitta or warmed flatbreads.

Ingredients
| For the sauce: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | red onion, chopped |
| 1 | red pepper, diced |
| 1 | garlic clove, crushed |
| 1 tbsp | harissa paste (optional) |
| 2 tbsp | tomato purée |
| 1 tsp | sugar |

| salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
| To serve: | |
| 6 medium | eggs |

Essential kit
You will need: a slow cooker.
Method
Cooking time: 2 hours 25 minutes on high; 4 hours 25 minutes on low. Preparation time: 5 minutes.
Put all the ingredients for the sauce in the pot of the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker to ‘cook’ mode, then turn it either to high and cook for 2 hours (removing the lid for the final 30 minutes) or to low and cook for 4 hours (removing the lid for final 1 hour).
Make 6 wells in the tomato sauce and break an egg into each one. Season with salt and pepper, then cover the pot with the lid and cook for 20–25 minutes on high, or until the eggs are set.
Spoon the sauce into shallow bowls, placing two eggs on top of each bowlful. Drizzle over the yoghurt and scatter on some coriander, if you like.
Cook’s tip: The harissa in the sauce gives a smoky, sweet warmth to the dish, but feel free to it leave out, if you prefer.
