Cracking a few eggs straight into a pan of bubbling, spicy, cumin-flavoured tomato sauce is one of the easiest and most wonderful one-pot dinners that we know, especially when it’s served with some bread on the side, for scooping up the sauce. However, ladling the shakshuka on top of a thin bed of hummus makes it even better. The rich and creamy hummus balances the sweet, spicy and tangy shakshuka just perfectly, and it also turns it into the ultimate comfort food.
Whether you serve this shakshuka with or without hummus, it is a very easy recipe to get creative with. The red pepper can be replaced with finely diced aubergine or courgette. Spinach or kale can be added to the tomato sauce and a pinch of saffron can be added for extra flair.
