You can make your own tasty sauce
by combining these ingredients:
You may want to top it with coriander
and feta, I prefer melting a thin slice of
provolone or mozzarella on top.

Shakshouka Tomato Sauce
(I’ve used prepared pizza sauce),

Ingredients

1/3 cup (4 fl oz/120 ml) tomato sauce
2 to 3 tbs. water
1 egg
Optional Seasonings:

1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dry oregano
1 pinch red pepper flakes

Optional
:
Meltable Vegetarian or Mozzarella Cheese

2 Tbs. sauteed mushrooms, sliced.

 

Instructions

In a greased microwavable mug combine the
tomato sauce and spices.

Once your sauce is mixed, crack your egg
into the center of the mug.

I poke the yolk with a knife point to prevent exploding.
Cover with plastic wrap poked with vent holes or use
microwave cover. (It can splatter a bit).

Microwave for 30 second intervals or until your egg
white is fully cooked and the yolk is slightly set.
Mine took 90 seconds.
(timing is based
on my 1200W microwave so your
timing might vary)

Enjoy!

Cooking time will vary greatly depending on your microwave
and
the width and depth of the mug. The mugs I use are small,
bowls and will hold roughly
6oz (¾ to 1 cup) of food.
