SUNDRIED TOMATO AND SWEET BASIL SHAKSHUKA #RAGU

Steps:

• Pour jar of Ragu tomato sauce on a 11" skillet.
• Heat on medium for 5-7 minutes.
• Add rinsed and drained chickpeas and distribute them evenly through the sauce and skillet.
• Make a well for each egg on the tomato sauce and crack eggs inside.
• Cover the pan and cook over medium heat until the whites are set and the yolks have the consistency of your preference (runny or cooked all the way). About 7-10 minutes.
• While the eggs are cooking, heat 1 olive oil in a small separate skillet add pine nuts and cook at medium heat for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Watch pine nuts carefully as they can easily burn.
• Before serving top tomato sauce and eggs with crumbled feta cheese and pine nuts. Serve warm and enjoy with crusty bread.

SUNDRIED TOMATO AND ARTICHOKE HASH WITH PESTO AOLI #SP5

Steps:

• Mise en place:.
• Open the can of artichokes and drain, reserving the brine in a small bowl. Squeeze the artichokes to remove any excess moisture. Quarter the artichokes and set aside. Open the jar of sun-dried tomatoes and drain oil into separate bowl. Cut the tomatoes into strips and set aside. Spread potatoes out onto a baking sheet and pat them dry with a paper towel (this will ensure that they will get nice and crispy).
• Directions:.
• 1) Heat reserved sun-dried tomato oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• 2) Add Diced Potatoes with Onions and sautee in oil until crispy, about 15-20 minutes.
• 3) While the potatoes are cooking, make the aoili. Measure out mayonnaise and pesto. Mix together with 1 tablespoon of reserved artichoke brine until smooth. The aoili should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. You can add more of the reserved brine to thin out the aoili to desired consistency.
• 4) When the potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and quartered artichoke hearts. Sautee for 1 or 2 more minutes until heated through.
• To serve:.
• Divide the artichoke hash into 4-6 individual portions and drizzle a small amount of the aoili over each portion. Serve immediately. If serving family style, leave aoili on the side with a serving spoon.

SHAKSHUKA

• With the back of a spoon, make four wells in the tomato mixture. Top each well with cilantro, if desired, then break an egg into each well.

SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• put olive oil in a large frying pan and heat on medium ( we are not frying the sauce).
• put in the 2 cans of tomato and sprinkle some cumin, salt and pepper to taste.
• a dash of balsamic vinegar.
• Now cook sauce on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes.
• Make a spot in the sauce by using a spoon to make a 'well' in it.
• put egg in said spot.
• cover and cook to your liking.

SHAKSHUKA WITH SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350-degrees. In a large oven-proof skillet (I used cast-iron), heat the olive oil. Add the bacon, if using, and onion garlic and chard stems and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the stems are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, dried basil and crushed red pepper and simmer until the sauce is thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a large pot of salted boiling water, blanch the chard leaves for 3 minutes. Drain and let cook slightly. Squeeze out the excess water. Form the chard leaves into 8 small piles and arrange them in the sauce around the side of the skillet. (I blanched and dried the chard in advance to make things easier--it'll keep for at least 30mins/1 hr).
• 3. Crack the eggs into the skillet between the piles of chard. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the eggs for 12 to 15 minutes, until the egg whites are just set and the yolks are slightly runny.
• 4. Transfer the skillet to a rack and sprinkle the cheese on top. Let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil and serve immediately.
• Note: I served with crusty bread which was great for dipping and making sure no sauce went to waste! You can use plain marinara but the arrabiata gave this a nice little kick--highly recommend it. I made without bacon and didn't miss it.
