Shakshuka with Dial R for Ras
This tasty combination of tomatoes, eggs and feta is never a miss and works well for either breakfast or lunch! We’ve added some Dial R for Ras to this tomato / poached egg combo to give it a middle eastern twist.
This dish lends well to your personal taste. You can replace the eggs with tofu for a tasty vegan option, or add sausage for something extra hearty. Toss in some spinach or chopped zucchini, if you want extra veg. And add some chilies or hot sauce – if you want a little extra heat.
Serve with thick toast, or on a bed of couscous or rice.
INGREDIENTS
1/3 Cup olive oil
1 Onion, peeled and chopped

Salt and Pepper, to taste
1/4 Cup of Feta, crumbled.
Chopped parsley or cilantro, for garnish.
