Ingredients

Shakshuka

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 red onion

1 red pepper

1 yellow pepper

1.5 tsp cumin

1.5 tsp paprika

1 tsp chilli powder

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 can chopped tomatoes

2 tbsp tomato puree

½ can chickpeas, drained

4 medium eggs

Freshly ground black pepper

A handful fresh parsley, chopped

 

Garlic Pittas

4 wholemeal pitta bread

1-2 cloves garlic, crushed

40g ProActiv Light

Freshly ground black pepper

Method

Roughly chop the onion and peppers

In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over a medium heat. Fry the onion for a few minutes until starting to soften, then add the peppers for another five minutes

Add the garlic and spices and cook for another minute or two until fragrant

Add the tomatoes, tomato puree and chickpeas. Simmer for about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens

While the sauce is simmering, prepare the garlic pittas. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas mark 6. Mix the ProActiv Light with one-two cloves of crushed garlic (depending on how garlicy you like it!) and black pepper. Set aside

When the sauce has reduced, use a wooden spoon to make four wells in the tomato sauce. Crack an egg into each as quickly as you can

Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-10 minutes depending on how you like your eggs

Put the pitta breads into the oven on a baking tray while the eggs are cooking, and cook for 8 minutes

Check the egg whites are cooked and yolks are to your liking and take off the heat. Season with black pepper and plenty of fresh parsley

Spread the garlic ProActiv mix onto the hot pittas and serve with the shakshuka
