🍅🥚 TURKISH ŞAKŞUKA: WHEN THE PAN TURNS INTO A TASTY FIREWORKS DISPLAY! (Or how to wow the crowd with a brunch that flaps like an Ottoman flag ✨)

ADVERTISEMENT

🎬 ACT 1: THE STELLISH CAST (The Ingredients)
→ 2 tbsp olive oil (the heroine who makes vegetables sing).
→ 1 onion (finely sliced, ready to melt with pleasure).
→ 1 red bell pepper (diced, for the killer color).
→ 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped, the aromatic spies).
→ 2 tbsp tomato paste (the secret umami boost).
→ 300g fresh tomatoes (diced, juicy, and rebellious).
→ 1/2 tsp cumin (the mysterious note).
→ 1 tsp paprika (sweet or smoked, the chef's choice!).
→ 1 tsp salt (the conductor).
→ 4 eggs (the stars we pamper).
→ 125g feta cheese (crumbled, for the snowy fall ❄️).
→ Bread (to save every last drop of sauce).

🎬 ACT 2: THE DANCE OF THE VEGETABLES (Cooking)
SCENE 1 - THE AWAKENING OF THE AROMATICS 🕺
→ Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. When she whispers "pschiiit," throw in the onion! Let it sweat for 3 minutes (transparent, not tanned).
→ Add the garlic and bell pepper: let them flirt for 5 minutes until tender. Careful: don't burn them, this is a slow dance, not techno!

SCENE 2 - THE GREAT TOMATO GAME 💃
→ Throw the fresh tomatoes + tomato paste into the pan! Stir like a DJ until the mixture glows with pleasure (5 minutes).
→ Sprinkle with cumin, paprika, and salt: simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, covered. The sauce should become smooth and sensual (like a silk dress).

🎬 ACT 3: THE ARRIVAL OF THE STARS (Eggs & Feta)
CLIMATING SCENE - THE MAGIC NEST 🥚✨
→ Using a wooden spoon, make 4 nests in the sauce (like little love craters).
→ Gently crack the eggs into the sauce (don't break the yolks, it's sacred!).
→ Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes:

Runny egg = 5 minutes (sunny yellow 🌞).

Well-cooked egg = 8 minutes (velvety yellow ☁️).

THE FALL IN A WINDSTOPPER ❄️❤️
→ Crumble the feta over the dish like Mediterranean snow!
→ Serve piping hot with toast (to soak up the joy).
