Today was absolutely freezing. Thankfully we didn’t have any more snow last night, I think the five or six inches which fell the day before was quite sufficient. So to chase away the cold I decided to try an Alan Coxon recipe featured the other night on Great Food Live. I’m not the greatest fan of Alan Coxon, I find watching him makes me nervous as he is so hyper on screen but I do often really like his recipes.
I liked the sound of this rich, spicy and warming stew, it seemed like my kind of no nonsense cookery.
In the original recipe Alan Coxon served the Shakshouka with a chickpea curry, fresh tomatoes, fresh mint (which I dislike) and used homemade harissa but I really wasn’t in the mood for messing around with chickpeas (besides Stewart really loathes them), I would rather used canned tomatoes when they’re not in season and I decided that store bought harissa would suffice.
So here for you folks is my take on Alan Coxon’s recipe for Shakshouka..
