Made this tonight and it's actually pretty good. Shakshuka....

[Boarcephus]

Saw a picture of it and been dying to try it.  Served it over rice.  If anyone is interested I'll post the recipe.  It's a North African dish I threw in some Chorizo to put some meat in it.  Spicy...

Shakshuka is great stuff. Those Berbers have come up with some awesome dishes.

Here you go....
In a cast iron skillet, add 3 TBS olive oil, 1 chopped onion, 1 diced poblano pepper and 1 stick of chorizo and cook till done.
When done, add one large can (26 oz?) of whole plum tomatoes and rough cut in the skillet and add 1 TBS minced garlic, 1 tsp cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper, a hand full of cilantro and salt to taste. 
Simmer till it thickens up, 10-15 minutes and add 6 oz feta cheese and gently crack 6 eggs into mixture.  Place in oven at 375 and cook till eggs set, 8-10 minutes.

The chorizo is pretty greasy so I spooned out what I could as it cooked.  This stuff would be great sat in the middle of the table and give everyone a spoon and a package of that hard toast (like the melba stuff) and ladle it on.  I've served it over rice because I brought if for lunch and didn't have any of the bread.

Is it breakfast or what?  I love eggs, so this is right up my alley.

A really good shortcut to a facsimile of shakshuka (which is also known as eggs in purgatory) is a can of hot Rotel drained and simmered in a skillet mixed with tomato sauce, with the eggs dropped in and cooked to the desired consistency.

I'm thinking this is good for whatever you want to make it.  When it first comes out of the oven it's perfect.  Good, gooey and spicy.  I could see it for any meal.

So the original recipe was all this, minus the chorizo, right? Or, did you substitute the chorizo for another ingredient?

Sounds like it would be great over grits or crispy hash browns for breakfast.

The only change I made in the recipe was adding the chorizo although the original recipe did call for a red bell pepper and I used the poblano.

Thanks. Looks interesting, and tasty. Seems like there's lot's of different flavoring tweeks you can do to cook it. I'll have to give it a try. Need to come up with some "sopping" bread to serve it with.

On a side note, this stuff is pretty cheap to make.  All you've got in it is a couple bucks for the tomatoes, same for the chorizo, feta and eggs.  Couple dollars for the onion and pepper.  You've got the spices and that's about it.  It's not like you're making gumbo and dropping $40 worth of seafood in it.  If you don't like it doesn't hurt as bad to toss it out!

Dang that looks good.
