Tips/Tricks

You can cook the eggs in the pan on top of stove if you don’t have access to an oven.  Just cover the pan with a lid and let them steam. This will take 3 – 4 minutes.

Feta cheese is also a nice addition to sprinkle on top of shakshuka.

If you want crispy black pudding on/in the shakshuka reserve 50g of black pudding and fry separately in a pan until crispy and sprinkle on top to finish.

The fresh herb garnish really lifts the dish so if possible add as much as possible
