I built my own wood fired oven...it took me a while, but worth all the effort. I decided to make this dish as my first effort in my new oven, served it with Merguez sausages (I read this is how it's served in North africa) and it was delicious, I received multiple compliments from guests who were invited to the inauguration. Special thanks to Clive fort the inspiration, it was only when I saw this channel, his calm enthusiasm along with multiple wonderful recipes that I decided to go ahead and build my own. I'm sure I'm not the only person to point out that this is the most underrated channel on youtube. Many thanks again, I now look forward to sampling many of your other recipes.
Merguez sounds like a great addition to the dish. I shall have to find a recipe for the oven that includes it. Thank you so much for your kind comment. There's more to come. Clive
So beautiful! We just bought a house with a wood-fired oven. I stumbled upon Shakshuka when I was working in Tunisia and Israel and love it so much I search it out anywhere it may be. I was just looking for how to cook it in our new oven and I stumbled upon your channel and video! Perfect timing. Love your artwork brother. Thank you and Cheers!
Ever since I discovered, and promptly binge watched every episode of this show, I wait on bated breath for the next one. This was a great one. Please keep at it, as you bring joy, inspiration and relaxation to many.
Bravo, Bravo!! I thought maybe since we haven't you in some time that maybe you gave it up? So glad you are back! There is no reason your Vlog/Channel couldn't be in the top 10 of cooking channels. First your calm demeanor and voice combined with the music put me in a trance! lol Then the great food product you seem to use, then whomever is your editor and does your production is an ace! But the real star of the show is that oven! Please keep up the awesome work, your channel serves as great inspiration for my backyard outdoor kitchen!
Your work has broadened my culinary horizons. I didn’t realize a stone oven was nearly as versatile as you’ve demonstrated your oven to be. I’m determined now to build one for my family.
Half way through the brick base of my oven and research brought me to this video and your amazing oven and now one of my favourite breakfasts. Great work, thanks for the inspiration
I made this from your instructions yesterday-my family loved it. Super tasty, and great as a leftover too. Made the pita bread to accompany it too. Love your channel!
Love your videos! I recently put a wood fired oven in my own backyard and have been working my way through your recipes. All delicious so far! Cant wait for more!
I tried this recipe but using my conventional oven and boy it is good. Perfect breakfast dish !!! The only thing I left out was the cheese at the end. Well done Sir !
The unbelievable small number of subscribers to this superb channel must, in a way or another, be compensated by the enthusiastically positive comments below, and serve as a consolation of sorts. That is, until the general public comes to its senses and a tipping point brings the deserved millions of subsctibers to it. Amen.
Thanks for this Clive! I hadn't heard of Shakshuka before and have been meaning to make this meal for ages. Finally this evening myself and my young kids watched your video again for a recap and we made it together. It came out fantastic and the kids loved it (I wonder if they would have loved it so much if they hadn't watched your video and help make it!). My wife, who was expecting flammküchen (but we didn't have any Crème Fraiche) was bowled over by it and wants us to repeat the meal again very soon! I added some finely chopped beetroot that we had left from the veg garden and that really added to the chunkiness and colour if you fancy. The combination with the egg, feta cheese and coriander is sublime! Many thanks!!
Hello Clive, the images you show in your videos are so elegant, you could put them on a cook book. The edition is impeccable. Have you try to make paella in your oven? That would be interesting.
Wow, how did I just only now discover this channel?? Great stuff, Clive. I'm binge-watching right now. Thanks so much for sharing. You are a great teacher!
Clive , I,ve been following you for years before I got my wood fired oven. I really enjoy your cooking, your instructions and presentations. It must be too early for wine…no mimosas? 😁
I'm halfway building my outdoor pizza oven....your site have become my pizza-oven-bible-videos to watch....I figure I should be done by this summer (2019).
We hardly used our pizza oven, since watching your channel we are cooking every weekend in it. Tried your shakshuka, wasn't looking as glorious as yours but tasted bloody nice. Please make more videos :)
We love your videos and congratulations on your cooking.We have bought a fired wood oven recently and we are anxious to start using it.You have been a great help.Can i ask you where i could buy the tools and the cooking pots? I live in Cyprus in a village near Limassol.Thanks a lot and Happy Easter .
Have you found your tools Andreas? I noticed today that the DIY shop by the bridge in Erimi sell the peel for the oven. They also have wire brushes with a short handle but this could be extended.
Now that gets me looking forward to summer produce from the polytunnel. Yet another superb video. Did you make the pittas in the oven? Would be very interested to see a video on wood fired bread making. Thanks, Richard
Excellent dish ... and you make it better ... regards Clive. The day you visit Argentina, we will be very happy to share our oven and have a good dinner.
Thank you Pablo. I will definitely take you up on your generous offer. Your country has a rich tradition of cooking with fire, and I want to experience it. Clive
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef I hope someday you visit us, feel free to contact me the day you travel here. But I think is a mistake to use the oven, we will do an asado (BBQ) for you. Turning on the oven that day is like trying to play tennis in front of Federer. Jajajaj !Regards. Pablo.
I certainly will. On a side note, the English dinner turned our great. The Yorkshire pudding will take some getting used to doing. it got too hot too quick so that perhaps should be done in a dwindling fire around 450???
We were in Spain during December, in San Sebastian. Amazing food there, as there is all over the Basque region. We did a Pintxos tour through Tenedor Tours, with a guide who took us to the legitimate bars rather than the tourist choices. Wherever you go in Spain you'll have a great culinary experience Mark.
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef Hi Clive - yes I definitely intend to email you and ask you about where you went and what you'd recommend. Went to France and Italy last year, which is over 22 hours in the Air from New Zealand, but oh so worth every second of it.
Clive, really enjoying these videos. My oven is being delivered on Friday so please pardon me if I wind up with too many questions! I looked for cazuela dishes and was warned about using them in high temperature situations for fear of cracking the piece -- is there any special way that you use these in the oven without having this problem? Also, recommendations for other cookware that you use, as in the spatchcock chicken episode -- are those just routine aluminum pans or something more substantial? Thanks!
Hello Bob. Great to hear about you new oven, and I'm here to answer any questions you may have. The Cazuela dish does need careful attention, like soaking it before using, but I'm using the same two dishes that I've had for years.
I have some Staub, and traditional iron skillets, all those can withstand the high heat (not anything with an enamel coating though, it won’t withstand the heat). All Clad Stainless Steel pans work really well. The heavy duty stainless steel pans perform very well in the oven, conduct heat efficiently, and don't have any adverse effects from the high heat. One of my favorites is my carbon steel pan from Blanc Creatives. They are well worth the investment. Whatever you purchase you should check the maximum oven-safe temperature. I wouldn't recommend using aluminum.
I fire up the oven as I normally would, so the temperature in the back of the oven is around 750F/400C. But I cook the dish more towards to the opening, where it's closer to 450F/235C, and also where I can easily reach the cazuela dish. If I feel the dish is cooking too quickly I pull it closer to the opening where the temperature drops even more. I also turn the dish several times so one side is not constantly facing the fire. Cooking in the wood fired oven is very intuitive, and I think learning where to place dishes based on the variable temperature throughout the space is part of the experience.
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef may I ask the $ range to build an oven such as the one you’re using in these videos? Just curious to know before i continue this pursuit. Thanks.
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef Hi Clive, lovely video. We're having our oven built and I've watched all your videos. Can you tell me what temperature the cazuela dish can handle in the oven? And, does it matter if the dish is shiny like yours or not (like mine)?
Hello Chuck. Harissa is an aromatic North African hot chili pepper paste made up of chile, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic cloves, lemon juice, vinegar, tomato paste, paprika, salt and olive oil. You can usually find it at the market next to the tubes of tomato paste.
@@TheWoodFiredOvenChef Thank you Sir! Those are mostly the spices I used to make mine - based on food wishes recipe - but not exactly the same. I will look for harissa ;-)
Love love your videos but I’m not a dog lover and didn’t like you touching the dog - even though you put gloves on. Sprinkling cheese on etc etc with doggy fingers

Looks beautiful Clive. I’m loving wood oven cooking. I have mine heating as we speak
Keep me updated about what you make.
I made this from your instructions yesterday-my family loved it. Super tasty, and great as a leftover too. Made the pita bread to accompany it too. Love your channel!
Glad you enjoyed it Paul
Thanks for another amazing video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m still on day 3 of curing my wood oven, but I’ll definitely start with this recipe once my oven is ready
Thank you Melany. Congratulations on curing your oven, I'd love to know what you enjoy cooking in it. Clive
looks sooo good ! a reaction to your meals would be great also
I made this for the family a couple of weeks ago after watching this, and it was every bit as delicious as you made it look!
Great to hear!
Love your videos! I recently put a wood fired oven in my own backyard and have been working my way through your recipes. All delicious so far! Cant wait for more!

Thanks Frank
Looks lovely, the music in the background sounds alot like The Last of Us soundtrack too

Thank you Steven. At the moments the videos are the recipes, but I am working on a book.

Gorgeous
Great video, very inspirational. What is the size of the terra cotta cazeula?
I have two, one is 10" and the other 12". They have a great selection of Cazuela dishes at Tienda.com.
who knew welding gloves were so versatile?

loved it, thank you again... very relaxing video as always

Mine too
Hi, amazing video as usual. I had one question. How hot does it need to be to cook Shakshuka. I was wondering if it would get too hot and burn
I fire up the oven as I normally would, so the temperature in the back of the oven is around 750F/400C. But I cook the dish more towards to the opening, where it's closer to 450F/235C, and also where I can easily reach the cazuela dish.

Eggs in Purgatory!
It's an algerian dish
Stuck up brit dude, this, I like!
Turkish cuisine
Yeah but we are making şakşuka completely different , this is menemen
