Ingredients

1. To make the shakshuka, heat the oil in large pan over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft.

2. Add the peppers, garlic and chilli and fry for a few minutes.

3. Add all the spices to the onion mix and stir to coat the vegetables.

4. Add the tomato paste and cook for a few seconds while stirring. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, then add tomato purée, water and honey.

5. Add the lamb and roasted tomatoes, stir and cook for a few minutes. Stir in the coriander and season with salt.

6. Use the back of a spoon to create four wells in the shakshuka, then break the eggs into the wells, cover and continue cooking over a medium heat until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Garnish with coriander and serve with the crème fraîche and toasted sourdough.

Cook’s notes: Replace the lamb with tofu for a vegetarian version. Make a double batch of sauce and freeze for up to a month.
