The shakshuka is a common middle eastern dish and is quite easy to make. It makes great hangover food and is basically a blank page to whatever you might want to add to it. I personally add tons of cheese, but you can use whatever's in your fridge! I'd suggest trying the basic recipe as it's listed here before changing it though. It's a great dish to make with kids! They love how colourful it is and that ypu can eat it with bread with your hands. I do have to warn you - it's highly addictive!

Steps

1

Dice your tomatoes, onion, garlic and bell peppers if you chose to add them. It doesn't matter if they're in bigger or smaller chunks, just cut them as you like them in your salad.
2

Put an old pan on a high fire. Add the ingridients you cut in the previous step, no need for oil, and cover the pan for 2-3 minutes. After that, you'll start seeing some fluids - that's exactly what you want! At this point you need to add any time of cheese you want, I usually add a piece or two of gouda but any type of cheese you have in your fridge will do. Let it melt down and have a little tatse - add pepper and salt accordingly. You can also add paprika, chili powder, kajon or whatever you want.
3

After the cheese melted and you like the taste of your tomatoes, add the eggs slowly and carefully. Cover the pan and let it cook of around 4-7 minutes, depends on how you like your fried eggs.
4

That's it! Your dish is ready to serve. You can either serve in the pan itself (like I like to do) or plate it nicely. You can add some parsly as garnish, bacon bits or more chunks of cheese.
