Shakshouka (Eggs in Tomato and Pepper Sauce)
"The sauce can be prepared and kept bottled in fridge (or frozen) and can be used in lots of other ways. Chopped up feta cheese could also be added. Serve sprinkled with lots of fresh chopped parsley, with fresh bread or pita."

A delicious dinner! There were a few doubters sitting at the table, and they all asked for more. I did add eggplant, since I had some, and like the recipe states, any vegetable could be added nicely. Thanks for another wonderful meal!

Thanks for the recipe idea. I'm not giving a rating because I did make some changes to the recipe. I used 1 red pepper and 1 anaheim chile. I did not have parsley and I served it with homemade wheat bread and fried turnips. This recipe is quite a bit different than shakshouka I've had in the past -- this is more of a pepper sauce and less of a tomato sauce. Still it was very tasty and I'll use more pepper than usual in the future.

I live in Manchester, UK with my fiance and young son. I work at the local hospital in pediatrics and love my job. I also love cooking!! I have a sweet tooth but try and make healthy family meals, I'm not against some lovely treats now and then though :)
