The Lazy Cook

Here's a recipe I came across on the Net.  It's simple if not as quick as I usually like, but what drew me to it was the name - how could you not fall in love with something called shakshuka?  So, here goes -
In a frying pan, put a little olive oil.  Add some chopped onion (which you can buy ready chopped in a jar from the supermarket) and some chopped garlic (ditto) and fry for a couple of minutes.  Add a sprinkle of chilli flakes and a tin of chopped tomatoes, season well and simmer for a good ten minutes or so until the mixture thickens.  Make a couple of holes in the mixture and break an egg into each and continue to cook until the eggs are to your liking.  And there you are.
This recipe comes from the Middle East and can be eaten as is, or bulked up with mince, or cheese or peppers or anything really.  Give it a go.
