Start your day with the Tabchilli Shakshouka, a dish that weaves the warmth of Middle Eastern spices with the gut-friendly goodness of fermented foods. Each component of this dish is a nod to the ancient practice of fermentation, promising not just a sensory delight but also a boost to your digestive health.

Let’s dive into the full recipe, from the robust Roast Spicy Sauce to the final, flavorful assembly of the shakshouka.

Roast Spicy Sauce:

Ingredients:

• 800g Quartered Tomatoes
• 150g Roughly Diced White Onion
• 20g Whole Garlic Cloves
• 220g Roughly Chopped Red Pepper
• Cumin Seeds, a pinch
• Dry Oregano, a pinch
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• 30g Tabchilli fermented chilli
• 60g Tomato Paste
• 170g Peeled Tomatoes
• 1 tsp Paprika Powder
• 1/2 tsp Tabchilli paste
• A drizzle of Honey

Directions:

• Roast: Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Combine tomatoes, onions, peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, and Tabchilli oil in a baking tray. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, and roast again until the veggies are tender.
• Simmer: Move the roasted vegetables to a pot, deglaze the baking tray with water, and add the water to the pot. Include the tomato paste, peeled tomatoes, paprika, and Tabchilli paste.
• Mash and Season: Cook for about 20 minutes on medium heat. Mash the mixture with a potato masher to a chunky consistency, season to taste, cool slightly, then pulse blend to keep some texture.

Tabchilli Shakshouka:

Ingredients :

• 1 slice Sourdough Toast
• 200g Roast Spicy Sauce
• 10g Crumbled Feta Cheese
• 8g Fresh Avocado, diced
• Parsley leaves for garnish
• 2g Thinly Sliced Red Radish
• 3g Dukkah Mix
• 20g Spicy Yogurt, for a probiotic finish
• 2 Fresh Eggs

Directions:

1. Sauce It Up: In a skillet over medium heat, let the Roast Spicy Sauce bubble away for 2-3 minutes. This sauce is the soul of our shakshouka, enriched with our signature three-month fermented Tabchilli hot sauce for an unforgettably tangy kick.
2. Eggs Nest: Make wells in the sauce and crack the eggs into them. Cover the pan and cook the eggs to your liking.
3. Crispy Sourdough: Meanwhile, toast your sourdough to a perfect crisp in a buttered pan. This will be the crunchy foundation that soaks up all the delicious sauce.
4. Garnish and Serve: Once the eggs are poached, sprinkle over the feta cheese, arrange the avocado and radish slices, and scatter parsley leaves for a pop of green.
5. Probiotic Punch: Dollop on the Spicy Yogurt, which is not just for flavor—it’s packed with probiotics, thanks to the fermented Tabchilli in the mix, aiding in digestion and boosting your gut health.
6. Dukkah Sprinkle: Finally, the Dukkah Mix—a blend of nuts and spices, some of which are toasted and ground—adds a nutty, crunchy finish that complements the soft eggs and tangy sauce beautifully.

Plate your vibrant Tabchilli Shakshouka and prepare to be transported by the bold flavors and healthful probiotics in every spoonful. This is more than a meal; it’s a celebration of culture, health, and the simple joy of eating well. Enjoy your shakshouka as a hearty start to the day or a nourishing brunch that’s sure to impress.
