Speaking of fast food fish sandwiches, I tried the Wendy's limited-time for the first time this year and it was legitimately good, much to my surprise.
Popeyes had an outstanding flounder sandwich this Lent that I dearly wish were more regularly available. That thing had heft.

they probably had to cook it on a wire rack, with somebody watching the oven at all times to make sure the oil tray below didn't catch fire.

Sort of an odd one. My breakfast today. "Shakshuka"



It doesn't look bad, but I was under the impression that shakshuka was supposed to be cooked into a somewhat coherent mass in a frying pan, whereas what I got was more like a tin of chopped tomato with a couple of poached eggs sitting in it.

It tasted quite nice but the consistency was quite tiring after a while. I would have preferred it reduced a lot more and served with more bread. The flavours are quite pleasant though so I may have a go at making it myself.

That's how you'd expect a café Shakshuka to be served in here, so there's plenty of liquid but not as much as your's.

They definitely overdid it a bit on the creative front with your dish.

That is also what every photo I've seen of it looks like so I suspect that it might just have been a kind of low effort on the part of the mildly trendy but low rent british cafe I went to. Literally it was swimming in tomato juice so I think they just dumped the can in and warmed it up.

Oh British, that explains why the eggs were poached separately rather than cooked in the sauce.

Also the name of the dish comes from the word for 'to shake' so the notion of cooking every element separately and only combining them on the plate goes against the spirit of the dish.

If you can handle making a good tomato sauce then its an amazingly easy and delicious breakfast to make, you just ladle some sauce into a pan and cook some eggs in it.
If you want to get fancy like restaurants do it then you can add some cheeses after it's hot and transfer to a hot oven to get it a bit creamed.

Also green shakshouka is also a thing and it can be just as good.

It's also worth noting that "shakshuka" is something you can add just about anything to - it's not quite as good at emptying a fridge as a frittata, but it's close. Artichoke hearts, pickled cherry peppers, sliced olives, spinach - go wild.

You may be more interested in eggs in hell, shakshuka's less ethnic cousin.

That reminds me actually, I went to greece once as a child and my girlfriend recently went on a trip there, and something we both noticed was that the feta cheese they sell there is eye wateringly salty. I like the stuff we get in the UK but the greek stuff is like eating a handful of salt. Just completely overpowers everything you put it with.

I can only assume people there get used to it and just don't taste it.

zedprime posted:

That sounds nice yes, though I also liked the sound of putting paprika in it which I do like. Just specifically I think I have that thing that makes coriander taste vile, my mother does too.

It helps preserve the cheese, some people let these salty cheeses sit in water for a couple minutes before using which helps.


That's fine coriander is not a necessity of shakshuka, just a garnish in that photo.

The common understanding of this gene is false, its not a get out of jail free card to justify your pickiness. Plenty of people have it and still enjoy coriander or else it wouldn't be such a fundamental part of so many cuisines.

It's one of those where you just Google up a handful of recipes, realize "oh this is easy," throw together something and it works and id delicious. It's a tomato base with eggs. If you can't cook around tomato and eggs you have bigger problems that making a decent shakshuka.

Yeah basic shakshuka is really easy to make and can be fancied up as much as you want. Simmer some tomatoes until reduced, throw in whatever you feel like (harissa is not optional by the way), crack some eggs in, cover and let sit until eggs are your desired consistency, top as desired.

A true renaissance man


Shashouka is a top-tier dish and there are infinite amazing variations on it.

Throw some kind of cured meat in the sauce. Dry chorizo is good and fits the flavour profile nicely. Going to try it with home-made dry ham soon. Calabrian salami is good too.
Scramble the eggs and add extra cheese so it's like a dip.
Lots of fresh peppers, spicy or sweet
Green tomatoes
Broiled to make the top crispy
Steamed to make it soft and stewy

Serve with pita or sourdough or whatever nice bread you have.

And the sauce can be as easy as squirting a tablespoon of harissa into some oil in a pan, letting it fry a spell, and then adding your favourite tomato sauce. Get that simmering, crack in your eggs, throw on the lid, and there you go. Or leave the lid off and bake it.

Can you tell that I make it regularly? (I have hens and grow my own tomatoes)

Parmesan is a point of view problem because it is made out of vomit, like chocolate. It quantitatively tastes like vomit but depending on circumstances it can be a good thing.
