I fell in love with shakshouka in Israel last summer, and make it quite frequently. I actually prefer it minimalist – just some onion, garlic and tomatoes (and the eggs, of course), but fennel with its aniseedy notes could be quite fun!

Hmm I often want to cook more with beans, but I get a bit stressed by the non- canned ones. But after seeing how delicious this looks, i shall have to give it a go.

Thank you for sharing.

This is a great tip and recipe. Somehow it gave me a new idea on how to deal with leftovers. Most of the time we cannot avoid having leftovers, sometimes most of our leftovers may end to trash or as a pet food.

This looks lovely. Meals made of leftovers are always the best.

Mmmm….that looks so yummy Sophie! :-) And I am the same….even though I cook more rice/pasta/potatoes etc than I need at the time so I have leftovers for other meals, I’ve never thought about doing it with sauted veggies!! I’ll def be using that great little time-saving trick this week!

I have to say that I love eggs so this dish will no doubt become a firm favourite. I would even have it for brekkie….this morning I rustled up scrambled eggs with a little bit of fresh red chilli, a sliced up roasted pepper (from a jar!), a few sliced cherry tomatoes, some sweetcorn kernels and a handful of spinach thrown in at the end. It was gorgeous with a slice of granary bread, a sprinkling of hot sauce and a quarter of an avocado sliced up on the side! YUM! Eggs are so versatile!

In reply to shauna.

Thanks Shauna – I thought I’d better put some effort in after such a long silence :-)

I never think of my cooking as elegant but you’re right, this is an elegant solution in its own way. It’s definitely an easy win which always brings a smile to my face.

In reply to kathryn elliott.

That’s interesting Kathryn – I’d have thought you would be well ahead of me on this one :-)

It is a real time saver and great for the kinds of scrambled egg recipes I know you like to make as well these tomatoey eggs. Looking forward to hearing how you get on!

In reply to Arwen from Hoglet K. Thank you Arwen. To be honest I haven't found many spices or flavourings that don't go with eggs and tomato, and I don't tend to worry if there are some spices already in with the vegetables. I think you can see where a few chilli flakes and fennel seeds have already snuck into the picture with the pre-cooked veg.
