Tunisian Shakshouka, Poached Eggs

Naturally Gluten-Free Meals
Tunisian Shakshouka (Poached Eggs in Tomato Sauce)

Serves 2-4 People

INGREDIENTS

3 Tbsp Olive Oil

1 Small Onion, finely chopped

2 Cloves Garlic, finely chopped

8 Roma Tomatoes, chopped

2 Tsp Ground Coriander

½ Tsp Ground Caraway

2 Tsp Paprika

1/8 Tsp Cayenne Pepper, (optional)

½ Tsp Salt

1/4 Tsp Black Pepper

4 Large Eggs

3 Tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet on medium heat and sauté the chopped onions in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and spices and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste the sauce and add more salt, if needed.

Carefully crack 4 eggs on top of the sauce, leaving a space between each one. If space allows, you may be able to sneak 2 more eggs into the pan. Put a lid on the skillet, and allow the eggs to cook for about 5 minutes, checking them often so that the yolk reaches the state that you prefer.

Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat, and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top. Transfer the eggs, with plenty of sauce, into serving bowls and enjoy while still hot.

Bacon & Sweet Onion Jam

Naturally Gluten-Free Condiments

Bacon & Sweet Onion Jam

INGREDIENTS

1 Pkg Bacon, chopped

3 Large Sweet Onions, chopped

½ Cup Balsamic Vinegar

¼ Cup Brown Sugar

Salt and Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large, flat bottom, skillet or pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon, reserving drippings in the skillet. Add the chopped onions and sauté until tender. Be patient, stir occasionally, and wait for the onions to get caramelized. When the onions are browned, and the edges begin to get a bit crispy, remove the pan from the heat.

Using a stick blender, give the mixture a few quick pulses, just enough to smooth out about 50% leaving the remaining onion pieces whole. Return the pan to the heat, add the cooked bacon, vinegar, sugar and salt & pepper to taste. Once everything begins to bubble again, turn off the heat and leave the pan on the burner, stirring occasionally until it reaches room temperature. The jam can be enjoyed warm on burgers & hot-dogs, or mix with sour cream, cream cheese, or soft goat cheese to create a tasty dip. Store the mixture in a glass container in the refrigerator to enjoy when needed.
