I thought itvwas genius tho. I rarely buy tomato paste as most recipes call for like 1 to 2 tablespoons and then ive got 2/3 of a can left. Occasionally if im in the big city a few hours away i will spend the cash and buy the tubes of good Italian tomato paste at the big Italian deli. Its more expensive but it closes and lasts for weeks in the fridge. But i think im going to start freezing it. I bet you could probably do that with good crushed tomatoes from the can too. Buy one of those silicone square ice molds. The big ones that hold like 1/2 cup each. And freeze cubes. Its so interesting that almost every nation has some type of egg tomato dish. I grew up canning our own stewed tomatoes and tomato sauces from the garden. Our favorite quick meal during canning season is to quickly scramble a few eggs in butter and put a ladle of fresh stewed tomatos over the mostly scrambled eggs. Maybe a dash of hot sauce or good grubd of pepper on top. My one friend was from mexico and she made heuvos ranchero either whole egg or scrambled(she liked scrambled as runny egg yolk gave her the ick lol And then watching cooking videos fibd that chinese cooking has a wonderful stirfried egg tomato dish and of course this one shakshuka. I guess as a human we all like our egg and tomato 😅 Did i miss any? Oh does omurice from japan count?
When I got tired of throwing away an open can of tomato paste with white fuzz on it, I started freezing open cans with leftover tomato case but then what do you do with that? So I started putting the leftover tomato paste into a baggy, smashing it down and break off pieces as I need them. 😊
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! The recipe I make uses 6 eggs but also I use canned tomatoes and I find it has to cook a long time for the tomatoes to taste decent. Using fresh ingredients seems so much better and faster. The addition of red lentils to make it meatier is also a great idea! ^_^
Shakshuka doesn't have lentils in it but it's a nice add if you want more protein. Also not a Shakshuka without bell pepper and onions. What you made is basically menemen with lentils.
I've never heard of either dish. But it looks good. So, basically the same recipe with onions and bell pepper and no lentils? That sounds even better. 😂
@@yvettebowles9011 both are delicious. Menemen is a Turkish dish if I'm not mistaken and eggs are an essential part of it. Shakshouka is a North African dish. I'm Algerian and I've been eating it ever since I can remember. Eggs are not an essential ingredient of Shakshouka, it's more delicious with it but it's not mandatory.
The way my Tunisian family does it is to make a big batch of marmuma (the tomato-pepper base) and freeze it in 1 cup containers. Then we just throw it in the pan to make shakshuka or just eat as is with bread :)
@@jbrone1241 I’ve heard Matbukha but never Makboba how interesting! My family is from Djerba which is a peninsula near Libya so a lot of our food is actually more similar to Libyan rather than Tunisian cuisine, maybe that’s why the name is different
@@misspeaches1144greetings from Germany! I lived in Hammamet from 1996-1999 when i was 10 years old... Nothing better than a good odja with merguez...🤤🤤🤤 Miss all the food so much... ❤✌️❤✌️❤✌️
@@angelmartin7310if you actually studied history you’d find out who actually caused the unrest, drawing borders on land they don’t really know and the countries who pay a lot of money to keep the unrest going as they make money from it. If we go by your comment, you are the troublemakers in the first place. The fact that you even commented this on an innocent comment shows how miserable you are
I think they are uncooked because lentils cook quite quickly, especially red lentils. Green lentils take a bit longer. But 20 mins should cook both well.
@@Isabella-nd3rq She said in the recipe it was cooked on medium -low heat for 20 minutes after the lentils were added. Red lentil, especially cracked red lentils cook quickly. I believe she used uncooked in this recipe video, but of course one could use cooked lentils too.
We do this too. The grated potatoes fried up into basically a potato hash brown patty, caramelized onions,and then this added on top making sure the broken yolks get all the way down to the potatoes.
@@kokohale the way my mom does it is that she just adds the tomatoes mixed already and then the eggs to the almost-done potatoes and then covers the whole pot with the lid on simmer
Looks frozen. She probably just freezes it on parchment paper or something nonstick like that. Seems handy for when you don’t need to use a whole can of tomato paste. And the cans are cheaper than the tube. Plus most dishes only ask for like 2 TBSP, give or take, so when you freeze it you can portion out the sizes
Shakshuka dish is famous in Algeria🇩🇿t and it is considered a wonderful traditional dish as it should be hot🌶🌶 and very spiced with a piece of crispy bread🥖🥖. Healthy and bless your heart☺️👏
Not exactly old tradition there though. Only as far back as the 1800s. It's definitely a world wide dish since the ingredients originated all over the place.
Shakshuka is a dish I've been meaning to make. Totally up my alley. I think it usually has onions and peppers, but it also seems like a dish that's customizable anyway.
Yes we do put pepper and onions and we also add merguez (type of sausage in tunisia) or shrimps in it, but plain shakshouka is fine. Its missing the harissa tho, thats definitely the key ingredient for us 😅
Thanks to everyone who added their variation. How wonderful we can love our traditional recipe yet enjoy this so many additional ways. I will eat a versión daily. My absolute favorite dish. Our Moroccan version has roasted red peppers, onion and fresh garlic very spicy I use tofu instead of eggs BUT, the addition of lentils is magical ✨👏 TYSM 💐
You know you just add less of everything right and use a smaller pan. 😂😂 I really mean this with no disrespect at all but are people really mind blown by this??
@@littIefairy Most definitely that’s understandable. I’m sorry I didn’t really think of that. My apologies if it sounded rude. I appreciate you explaining it because I was in the wrong and I’d rather someone let me know and get a different perspective. 😘🫶🏻
@@littIefairy Aw well thanks love. I hope you have a good day and I hope your cooking journey gets easier for you. I know for me I started cooking young because I was on my own to eat and really the more you do it the easier it gets. So I’m sure you’ll do great. ❤️❤️
There r many variations on Sashsuka, depends on region, country and personal preferences. Its nice to know the variations because this is a great breakfast/ lunch. Variety is the spice of life as they say 😊
I made this and it was so so good I genuinely think this is in my top 5 favorite recipes I've made. It took waaaaayyy longer to cook down and get the lentils soft then just 20 tho
Depends what kind of lentils u r using. American lentils wont cook quick. Orange lentils cook fast. Try middle eastern or indian store if your grocery store doesnt sell them
You are a freaking genius! I've been freezing my guacamole in silicone molds because I can't eat it fast enough. I should be freezing my tomato paste too 🤯
Can you meal prep shakshuka? I think the way to do it would be making the sauce separately & storing it & then making it in the pan every day with the eggs.
I love how we all taught it to all foreigners we meet 😂😂 i get a picture every now and then of my non tunisian friend’s shakshouka, least i could say is we proud of you
@@LaidOutBare same spices almost not too different the only difference would be i guess some garam masala which we use for almost every type of curry/stew, or a little bit of chilli powder, but you wouldn't want that since it's already too hot and spicy.
Omg watching you make all my favorite meals rly touched my heart rn… crazy what food does .. bless you, keep making these wonderful dishes and bring smiles and screams of pleasure to people who you cook for 🙏🏻💚
Hmm I could see myself making a version of this with mixed beans (whole but several different kinds) instead of lentils as I have a lot of beans at home at the moment (local store had them on special offer recently and I like to use them for my version of taco flavored chili con carne). Looks really good!
She had a frozen disc of tomato paste. I thought that was a slice of salami or something
Nah same 😂

@@hananel5546I think it depends on the country. We don’t use bell peppers and we use diff spices than her.
Not bell peppers, menemen has charleston peppers which are very mildly spicy

What I learned from this is that when a dish is good, almost every country has some version of it.
Porridge
Dumplings
Tomato soup
Curry
Noodle soup
Noodles/Pasta
Omelette/Omelet
those are the dishes I could think of 🤔
@@the_best_username Flatbreads like tortilla, rotis, naan etc
Love adding lentils for a little extra nutrition, going to have to try that!

If you are afraid then maybe soak the lentils (giving advice as someone who has never cooked these lentils ever)
this recipe has been made for many years in Naples, in Italy here it is called Eggs in Purgatory 🍳 🔥
Mister fake italian its a fucking turkish dish.
Sounds like something that came out of an anime series
Frrrrrr@@yelanchiba8818
Lentils for them extra gains 💪 looks good and essy enough too if you memorize the spices
a layer of grated seasoned potatoes ( a large hash brown basically) under the tomatoes is a game changer
We do this too. The grated potatoes fried up into basically a potato hash brown patty, caramelized onions,and then this added on top making sure the broken yolks get all the way down to the potatoes.
How do you mix/fry the tomatoes without ruining the potato layer?
@@kokohale the way my mom does it is that she just adds the tomatoes mixed already and then the eggs to the almost-done potatoes and then covers the whole pot with the lid on simmer
@@tamkeensakeena7643 are the pre-mixed tomatoes also pre-cooked?
@@kokohale nope, they will just cook when you simmer them covered for a while
Absolutely doing the lords work. I only eat shakshuka when I make it for my family when I visit home now I can finally have some at home alone
Wait how did you prep that tomato paste? Was if frozen? That seems like a really good life hack I need to know more about!
I agree, that is definitely something the channel need to do a video on 😊
I’m wondering the same thing!!!
@@lastchance6845you freeze it lol what do you need a video on?

Cumin is a must for the shakshuka!!!
This series was some of the most fun I've had with variety content. Looking forward to the rest!
This would be an awesome breakfast with tea or coffee 😋
Make a sweet and creamy coffee to go with it.
For shakshuka you could also ad spinach or northern beans. Otherwise it looks so delicious 😋 ❤
Can you meal prep shakshuka? I think the way to do it would be making the sauce separately & storing it & then making it in the pan every day with the eggs.
Yes absolutely.. i always have the sauce ready in the freezer .. i just warm it on a pan and top it with the eggs .. easy and delicious
We always make enough to freeze some (minus the eggs of course)
Thank you guys for always doing what you do! You all are speaking facts no fiction
Wow 😊 looks yummy 😋
Sauce looks amazing
Gotta make it and add pasta and ground turkey 😂😂
Looks yummy
Best recipe ever! Thanks to you!!!
