Shakshuka Burrito With Roasted Pepper Salsa And Tzatziki Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the cilantro stems, garlic, cumin, paprika and red pepper flakes; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is softened and the vegetables are coated with the spices, about 1 minute.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Stir the tomatoes with their juices into the skillet. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 20 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Use the back of a spoon to make 4 wells in the sauce, 1 to 2 inches apart. Crack an egg into each well. Run the edge of a rubber spatula through the egg whites to break them slightly, being careful not to break the yolks (this allows the egg whites to cook faster). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with the cilantro leaves. Serve with pita bread.

Steps:

• To make the roasted red pepper salsa: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has a slightly coarse texture. Season to taste. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• To make the quick tzatziki: Mix together all the ingredients and season to taste. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. When ready to serve, put in a bowl, top with extra virgin olive oil, paprika and chopped mint and dill.
• To make the Shakshuka breakfast burrito: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt on a sheet tray. Roast the tomatoes in the oven for 20 minutes or until the tomatoes begin to blister and burst.
• Season the eggplant slices with salt and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let sit at least 10 minutes to release the excess moisture from the eggplant and then chop into ¼-inch dice.
• In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for 5 minutes or until soft and lightly brown. Add the garlic, spices and 1 teaspoon salt and cook another 1-2 minutes or until the spices are toasted and very fragrant. Stir in the sweet potatoes and cook, about 5-7 minutes, or until lightly brown. Next add in the eggplant and cook another 5 minutes until the eggplant begins to soften. Add the remaining vegetables, cover with a lid and cook an additional 10 minutes, stirring as needed, or until the vegetables are tender and the eggplant has broken down. The eggplant will have the texture of refried beans. Remove from heat and stir in the baby spinach.
• In a nonstick skillet over medium heat add a splash of olive oil. Fry the eggs, in batches if needed, to your desired temperature. Set aside.
• On a clean work surface lay out 1 tortilla. Spread 1 tablespoon of quick tzatziki over the bottom third of the tortilla, leaving a ½-inch border. Spread 1 tablespoon of roasted tomato salsa over the yogurt sauce. Next evenly layer 1 cup of the cooked vegetables over the sauces and 4-5 roasted tomatoes, followed by 1/4 of a sliced avocado and a fried egg. Fold the bottom of the burrito up over the filling as much as possible. Fold the two sides into the center and then continue rolling the burrito until closed. Repeat building the remaining burritos.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and place the burritos seam side down on the hot pan to seal the burrito completely. Serve immediately with the extra quick tzatziki and roasted tomato salsa.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5-inches from the top of oven and set the broiler to high.
• Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, discard the seeds, and place cut-side down on a sheet pan. Broil until the skins are completely charred, about 10 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. (Or char the peppers over gas burners, turning often.)
• Transfer the peppers to a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow then to steam for 15 minutes, then rub the skins off under running water. Drain and roughly chop into half-inch squares.
• Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the oil and heat until shimmering, or until it reaches 335 to 350 degrees F. Stir in the garlic and salt and cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 1 minute.
• Add the harissa, brown sugar and preserved lemons and cook, stirring vigorously, for 30 seconds. Follow with the peppers, then grate the tomatoes directly into the pan using the large holes of a box grater, discarding the remaining pieces of skin. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil and prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Carefully lower the eggs (in their shells) into the boiling water and cook for 1 minute then dunk in the ice bath for 30 seconds. Remove to a dish towel.
• Create 6 divots in the stew with the back of a large spoon or ladle, making them deep enough to hold the eggs without pushing through to the bottom of the pan. Crack the par-cooked eggs into the divots. (I usually break them one by one into a custard cup to protect the yolk.) Cook over medium-low heat until the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny, about 12 minutes.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
• Toast the cumin, coriander and caraway in a dry cast-iron skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, garlic, onion and salt. Cook until the garlic begins to brown, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the urfa biber and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Add the red wine vinegar and cook 2 minutes more.
• Transfer the mixture to a food processor fitted with a standard S-blade and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Store in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
• Trim the ends off the lemons. Slice each lemon into 8 wedges, removing any seeds as you go. Reserve as much of the juice as possible.
• Layer the lemon wedges in a wide-mouthed 16-ounce canning jar, covering each layer with salt. Pack the jar as tightly as possible, pressing down to release the lemons' juice as you go and leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace in the jar.
• Cover the wedges with the reserved lemon juice from the cutting board and the ends. If your lemons do not release a significant amount of juice, top off the jar with the juice of another lemon.
• Stash in the refrigerator for 4 days, then flip the jar over and age another 4 days before sampling. The peel should be nice and soft. Rinse before using.
• Expect peak flavor and texture after about a month. As long as they're kept refrigerated, preserved lemons should keep indefinitely.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Find a deep roasting tin (ours was 25cm x 35cm). Get a chopping board ready and find a sharp knife to cut with. Hold one of the peppers with both hands, press your thumbs into the stalk so it pops inside the pepper, them rip the pepper in half. Pull out the stalk, seeds and any white bits from the middle of the pepper and put these in the food recycling. Lay the pepper on your chopping board and, using your knife, cut it into strips. Do the same with the other pepper.
• Tip the peppers into the roasting tin. Fill a tablespoon measure with olive oil and drizzle this over the peppers. Season the peppers with a pinch of salt and some black pepper, then toss them together using a wooden spoon. Wearing oven gloves, put the tin in the oven on the middle shelf. Set a timer for 10 mins.
• When the timer beeps, carefully remove the tin from the oven (always use oven gloves when taking the tin in and out of the oven). Peel the papery skin off the garlic and put a clove of garlic in the garlic crusher. Squeeze it over the peppers, then do the same with the other 2 garlic cloves.
• Use a can opener to open the tomatoes and add these to the roasting tin. Each can opener is a little different and can be tricky to use at first, so ask an adult to show you how if you need help.
• Measure the ras el hanout spice blend in a teaspoon measure, then add the spice mix to the roasting tin. Mix the ingredients using a wooden spoon. Return to the oven and set a timer for 15 mins.
• When the timer beeps, remove the tin from the oven. Crack your first egg into a small bowl - check if there are any small pieces of shell in the egg white, if so, scoop them out using a bigger piece of shell. Make a little space in the tomatoey sauce with your wooden spoon, then pour in the egg. Continue with the rest of the eggs, cracking them into the bowl, then making a little space in the sauce and pouring them in. Return the tin to the oven. Set a timer for 5 mins.
• When the timer beeps, carefully remove the roasting tin from the oven. Put the flatbreads in the oven and set the timer for 5 mins. On your chopping board, chop the coriander using a knife or a pair of scissors. Remember to use the stalks, too - they contain lots of flavour.
• When the timer beeps, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven and put them on a plate. To serve, use a big spoon to scoop an egg or two onto each plate, along with some of the sauce, and sprinkle over the coriander. Serve with the flatbreads.
