Shakshuka - 4pp

Sooooo... what the hell is Shakshuka? Apparently it is a Middle Eastern breakfast made with eggs and tomatoes. I got the idea from someone's meal posts on the Weight Watchers message boards and thought I'd have a look in to it and I wasn't disappointed! I have mine as my main meal with pitta bread but if you want it for breakfast or lunch, go for it!

Serves 1
Ingredients:
1 sweet red peppers - 0pp
1/2 medium onion - 0pp
2 cloves of garlic - 0pp
4 ripe tomatoes - 0pp
2 medium eggs - 4pp
1 chilli pepper - 0pp
1 spoon of tomato paste - 0pp
Fresh basil - 0pp
1 tsp paprika - 0pp
Salt and pepper to taste - 0pp

Directions:
1. Peel the onion and garlic then chop them both into very little pieces.
2. Clean the red pepper and chilli from seeds and cut into small cubes.
3. Cut the tomatoes into cubes.
4. Chop the basil
5. Heat a frying pan then add frylight, onion and garlic. Fry them until the onion is golden clear.
6. Turn the heat down to low, add the red pepper, tomatoes, chilli pepper, tomato paste, paprika, and then mix. Cover the pan, and simmer the mixture over low heat for 15 minutes.
7. Add the basil, salt, pepper, and then mix. Gently crack open the eggs without breaking the yolks, and drop them on the vegetables.
8. Cover the pan and continue cooking the mixture for another 5 minutes.


I have mine with some pitta sticks from Tesco (1pp each) and occasionally a couple of tbsp of half fat soured cream (0pp for 1tbsp, 1pp for up to 3tbsp).
