Essential Ingredients- 100ml Tomato Puree (unsweetened recommended)
- 2 Fresh Eggs
- 30g Mozzarella Cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the vegetables. Wash the onion and mushrooms thoroughly. Then, finely chop them using a knife or a food processor. If you prefer a bit more texture, you can chop the onion slightly coarser.
Step 2
Take a microwave-safe dish or an oven-safe bowl. Pour in the 100ml of tomato puree. If you like more chunks, you can crush canned whole tomatoes instead of using store-bought puree.
Step 3
Evenly sprinkle the finely chopped mushrooms over the tomato puree. The earthy aroma of the mushrooms will blend beautifully with the tomato sauce, creating a richer flavor.
Step 4
Next, add the finely chopped onion on top of the mushrooms. As the onion cooks, it will release its natural sweetness.
Step 5
Now, let’s season the dish! Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt and a pinch of black pepper to your taste. For an extra aromatic touch, you can add dried herbs like oregano or basil.
Step 6
Using a spoon or fork, gently mix all the ingredients in the dish until well combined. This creates the delicious base for your Shakshuka!
Step 7
Make two small wells in the center of the mixture. Carefully crack one fresh egg into each well. If you prefer a creamier texture when cooked, you can lightly break the yolks.
Step 8
Now, it’s time for the microwave! Cook on high power (700W) for approximately 4 minutes. The goal is to cook the egg whites until set while keeping the yolks runny or softly set. Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s power.
Step 9
Once cooked, carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Sprinkle 30g of mozzarella cheese generously over the Shakshuka. Return it to the microwave for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
