  1. SAUCY BASE

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the green pepper pieces and fry for 1-2 minutes, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic, the harissa paste, the tomato paste, and the dried chilli flakes (to taste). Fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly.

  2. BOILING AWAY

    When the garlic is fragrant, pour in 250ml of boiling water, the cooked chopped tomato, the rinsed red lentils, and ½ the chopped oregano into the pan. Bring up to a simmer. Reduce the heat and pop on the lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the lentils are soft, stirring occasionally. Add more water if the sauce reduces too quickly.

  3. EGGPLANT, AUBERGINE OR BRINJAL?

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the aubergine chunks and fry for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. When the lentils have 1-2 minutes remaining, stir through the fried aubergine. Season with a sweetener of choice, salt, and pepper.

  4. OPTIONAL STEP

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry until cooked through to your preference. We like the yolk runny and the white just set! Remove from the heat and season.

  5. TOASTED BAGUETTE

    Smear the baguette rounds with butter or drizzle with oil. Return the pan to a medium heat. When hot, add the baguette rounds cut-side down and toast for 1-2 minutes on both sides until starting to brown.

  6. TIME TO DINE!

    Dish up a generous helping of the lentil shakshuka. Crumble over the drained feta and top with the fried egg (if using!). Garnish with the remaining oregano. Serve the toasted baguette rounds on the side for dunking. Enjoy, Chef!
