Before you start

High sided frying pan | Powerful blender | Grill

Prepare the ingredients

  • Peel and dice the onion and garlic
  • Thinly slice the red peppers

Make the base

  • Warm the olive oil in a high sided ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat
  • Add the dice onion, garlic and a pinch of salt, mix well and cook for 5-10 minutes until soft
  • At this point, add the sliced peppers, mix well and cook for another 5 minutes until they begin to soften
  • Mix through the paprika and cook for another couple of minutes before adding the chopped tomatoes, rose harissa and brown sugar
  • Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 20-30 minutes until thick and delicious

While the shakshuka cooks, prepare the tofu eggs

  • Drain the tofu and add to a powerful blender, along with the nooch
  • Blend until smooth and creamy
  • Add a very small pinch of turmeric here as an optional choice for colour

Finish the shakshuka

  • Once the sauce is reduced, taste and season with salt and pepper
  • Make 4-5 small wells on top of the sauce and spoon the tofu mixture into them
  • Finish under the grill for 5-10 minutes or until the tofu mixture becomes firm

Time to serve

  • Toast the bread and butter with plant-based butter
  • Finely slice the herbs
  • Remove the shakshuka from the oven and drizzle in olive oil
