Making the most of the last few sunny days with one of my favourite meze, Turkish şakşuka. You may know Shakshuka (meaning “all mixed up”), a popular dish especially in the Middle East, made up of eggs cooked in tomato sauce, peppers, herbs and sometimes onions. For us Turks though, the name and dish Saksuka refers to this delicious, summery meze of aubergines, peppers cooked in olive oil, served with a tomato based sauce. I like to add courgette (zucchini) here too – it really is sunshine on a plate. Vegetables are tratidionally shallow fried in olive oil for this recipe though for a lighter and equally tasty option, I coat the veg in olive oil and bake in the oven. We serve şakşuka with a tomato based sauce with garlic, chopped tomatoes, pepper paste, cooked for about 4 mins with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning, as well as garlicky yoghurt. I had some labneh - thank you @pinarfoodsuk 💐 - and it was delicious with şakşuka as well. Mum would serve with home baked chips abd Muhammara / cevizli biber aside to şakşuka, and I carry out the tradition, a heavenly combination.
