Lanky Me Chasing 5 More lbs, 1 More Rep

My personal favourite when I’m trying to pile in some cheap, tasty, quality calories is what I call “shakshuka”, although it probably bears no relation to the real thing.

Saute off your veg (I usually use red onions, red pepper/capsicum, butternut squash, courgette/zucchini) and some spicy sausage (optional, I like chorizo) until softened, add garlic and woody herbs/spices (I use rosemary, smoked paprika and cumin) for a minute or so to release favour, then a decent chunk of tomato puree and soft herbs (I use oregano) for another minute. Add a splash of water to loosen the tomato up, then crack 6 eggs into the pan and salt to taste. You can finish the cooking on the stove top or in the oven. I serve with pan fried salmon on the side.
