The wholemeal garlic pittas are perfect for mopping up any leftover sauce and add fibre** – the dish provides more than a third of your daily fibre recommendation.
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
