Zogster - if your Shakshouka doesn't turn out absolutely freaking amazing, let me know and I'll give you my recipe :P

Thanks nottoobadyet - this was about third time of making it and it's still great! Would be interested to see your recipe, though...

Making a change to plan - ended up eating in leftovers last night (a rare, non naughty change!) so will make this tonight: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6341/courgette-tomato-and-gruyre-gratin

Have made it before and its much nicer than it looks. Going to make a big vat of tomato sauce tonight, use some for this and some for tomorrow's meatballs.

For Shakshouka - this is my fail safe, very basic but incredibly tasty recipe. I get requests for it all the time.

2-3 big red onions
Olive oil
Tomatoes (roughly chopped from fresh or a can, equivalent of about two cans, I tend to use about 12 if cooking from fresh)
A few sprigs of coriander, leaves and stems chopped separately
Hot pepper, fresh or powder to taste
2 tsp or so of sugar
4-5 eggs

You also need a flat frying pan with a lid.

Slice the onions, and cook in the olive oil with coriander stems and pepper until softened. Add sugar and tomatoes, and cook until the tomatoes have collapsed a bit and it starts looking like a sauce, about 10 minutes or so. Make dips in the sauce with a spoon, and break an egg into each. Cover the pan and turn down the heat, allowing it to cook until the eggs are baked through. If it looks a bit watery, allow to cook with the top off for another few minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the coriander leaves on top to wilt. Serve with bread.
