Ingredients- 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 cups (approx. 300g) Dibella tomato puree
- 3 fresh eggs
- 2 frankfurter sausages
- 1/2 medium onion (approx. 50g)
- 6 cloves garlic
- A few fresh basil leaves
- 3-4 peperoncino (or red chili flakes, adjust to taste)
- A little Grana Padano cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- A little fresh parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your aromatics and sausages. Finely dice half a medium onion and mince the 6 cloves of garlic. Slice the 2 frankfurter sausages into thin rounds.
Step 2
Heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant. Then, add the sliced sausages and cook until they are lightly browned.
Step 3
Pour in 1.5 cups (approx. 300g) of Dibella tomato puree and add 5g of fresh basil leaves to the skillet. Stir everything together well and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
Step 4
Season the stew to your liking. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and crumble in 3-4 peperoncino for a touch of heat. Stir to combine and taste, adjusting the seasoning if necessary.
Step 5
Using the back of a spoon, create small wells in the tomato sauce mixture. Carefully crack one fresh egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference. You can cook them runny, or slightly firmer.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish generously with finely chopped fresh parsley and grated Grana Padano cheese. Finish with a few fresh basil leaves for an aromatic flourish. Your delicious ‘Eggs in Hell’ Shakshuka Stew is now ready!
Step 7
Serve the hot shakshuka stew immediately. It pairs wonderfully with crusty baguette slices or your favorite bread for dipping into the flavorful sauce. Enjoy every delicious bite!
