Shakshuka

A soul-nourishing twist on a brunch classic. The deep, earthy umami of our mushroom sauce transforms simple poached eggs and tomatoes into a rich, complex, and grounding feast.

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Cook Time: 20 mins
  • Servings: 2 People


Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp of Kun Taste Studio Chili Mushroom Sauce
  • 1 can (400g) of crushed tomatoes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley or coriander for garnish
  • Crusty bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Sauté: In a large skillet, sauté the diced bell pepper and garlic with a little oil until soft and fragrant.

  2. Build the Base: Stir in the crushed tomatoes and the Chili Mushroom Sauce. Simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld.
    Create Wells: Use a spoon to make four small wells in the bubbling sauce. Carefully crack an egg into each well.

  3. Poach: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain beautifully runny.

  4. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve directly from the pan with warm, crusty bread to scoop up the sauce.

Pro Tips

  • The bits of wood ear and shiitake in the sauce provide a "meaty" texture that makes this vegetarian dish feel incredibly hearty.
  • For an extra kick, drizzle a teaspoon of our Crispy Chili Oil over the eggs just before serving.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs; the residual heat of the pan will continue to cook the yolks even after the lid is removed.
