Lots of garlic, but no onion. Never onion.

>No oniojn
you're a fucking twat
Gonna half another half of a raw just to spite you

>>15976235
That's haram you infidel
May Allah send all Quran's curses your way

>>15976253
Onions are ridiculously nutritious and delicious

>>15976257
They do not go in Shakshuka. This is gets you murdered in North Africa.

>>15976265
Good thing I'm in a civilized non-shithole then huh

>>15976209
food tastes better with onion
fuck the dish purity

>>15976271
>>15976278
Enjoy your shitty inauthentic kaffir slop.

Also cumin, make sure you add cumin. It's key for shakshuka flavor.

>>15976132
It's impossible, because shakshouka isn't a good dish.

ummm
retard???

>okay heres what youre gonna do
Dice an onion. Big, Vidalia. Whole thing, onion is the base of this. With just enough olive oil begin to cook le onion until translucent. Add more minced garlic than you think you need, and mix. By now your kitchen should be filled with the smell. Add some salt and pepper if you want but do not forget your basil paste. Mix until its not noticeable. Add your can of crushed tomatoes. Stir, let simmer, basically just thicken it and reduce it a bit, which is why less oil is good. Let some time go by, add all your sterotype Italian seasonings, some chopped up anchovies, and perhaps some bacon. In fact i once started step 1 with bacon grease from the precooked bacon. However you can add some chopped up sausage or whatever meat really. This is the point i throw in plenty of spimach leaves. Once everything is cooked to where it needs to be, create your holes and crack eggs into them. I like 6 personally. Move the tomato on top of some egg white to help cook and mix the layers. Cover, let yolks cook to the point of being jelly like,and thats it. Serve with toast

>on plate
If your shakshuka aint Italian themed, its gay

>>15976209
wait since when did Shakshuka not have onions in

don't fall for the meme of mixing bell peppers and sweet peppers in with the hot peppers, this is good to save money but you'll get something a lot more tasty if you use scotch bonnets and red Egyptian chillies instead

What the fuck is that? It looks dope as shit LL

I've made this recipe about 10 times or so

Pretty good

>smell
aroma

>>15976132
Why does everyone cook shakshuka in cast iron? You’re not supposed to cook acidic stuff in there

>>15976132
Simmer tomato in pan and put some eggs. It's a poverty dish. Impossible to fuck up.

>>15976132
season some tomato sauce and add eggs
>recipie
dont overcomplicate this

No one puts feta on top?

>>15980228
the straw that broke the camel's back

>>15978092
Does imagine the aroma sound right to you?

>>15980228
I prefer goat

>>15978293
It's not too big of a deal with a pan that's in decent shape.

>>15980228
if i have feta i need to use up, i mix it into the tomato and pepper mix before adding the eggs. but generally i avoid it because it changes the flavor completely. not in a bad way, it's still very tasty, but it doesn't feel like shakshuka anymore

>>15976132
I made this one and it was ridiculously good

>fry onion
>add bell pepper and fry more
>for the last 30 seconds of frying add cumin, paprika, and fresh garlic
>dump tin of chopped tomatoes in it
>tomato paste
>add meat if you want, bacon, sausage, ham, whatever
>drop eggs in and cover, or just poach eggs separately then add
>serve with garlic bread

it's really easy. you can add whatever you want. the base is just onions and peppers, garlic, cumin and paprika.

>>15980183
I agree with this guy.
Just simmer things you like with tomatoes and then put eggs in it. Cover with a lid for some steam action.

>>15983782
Seconded. Chef John is great for those simple hearty dishes.
>but I don't like the way he speaks

Is putting onions into it really such a big sacrilege for north africans?

>>15976132
don't make the jewish or israel shakshouka i think it is afghan recipe or something not those dirty stupid hobos recipes.... u need cumin and herbs and salt, with eggs and it helps to put a lit on top of it or something if you want it slightly less cooked eggs.......... dont add fresh things such as pic and also never put onions or garlic or the powders of it.

man this stuff sounds really good but i cant eat too much protein because it makes my poop too messy for my daddy. I am to keep a clean boi pussy for my daddy at all times i am only alloted one hour a day where there may be feces in my rectum (this is known as my sissy period). i usually snack on carrots and hummus with a capris sun while i watch my daily sissy hypno. ill make this for my daddy though, thanks for the motivation.

>>15976132
microwave some eggs, then douse em in ketchup or maybe sriracha if you're feeling fancy. cover with shredded cheese and microwave a bit more to melt. you dont need to add the vegetables on top, that's just pretentious, and anyone who's not a reddit tier soytard knows that more complicated food!=better food. this is the best, most elegant shakshuka ive ever had.

Im from Morocco. You retards need to look at the image. There are clearly onions in there. This is litteraly poor man's food. If the recipe doesnt have onions. It means they prefer to use little onions they had on other dishes.

To answer your question. North african cuisine like most other med cuisine always starts with
>Fat(oil usually)
>Garlic
>Onion
>Salt
Anyone telling you it's different. Will prolly get beat up by their mom and grandma's. Embarassing...

>>15976132
i make a culturally-appropriating-your-dish version
oil, add bell pepper, onion, chili
curry powder, salt, pepper
dollop of ginger/garlic paste
1 can ro-tel or similar diced tomato and chili
1 can tomato sauce
poach eggs in it (bit more curry on top)
cilantro to garnish
