Shakshuka for One | Food Wishes

This shakshuka for one is perfect for those days when you need to take a break from that bowl of cereal, and you want something that will sustain you for a good part of the day, while also making you feel happy and satisfied. We highly recommend you serve this with bread so that you can soak up the incredible sauce Enjoy!

Chef John, thank you. As a widower who has been alone for the past six years it is so nice to see a recipe for “one!” There are so few out there. I made this Shashuka this morning and it was fabulous.

Your old Shakshuka video was my introduction to this channel and I still use and adapt that recipe all the time. Such a delicious and versatile dish.

For my fellow lazy gourmands; you can semi-meal prep this by making the sauce ahead of time. Then each morning, just out some in a pan with some eggs and a splash of water, cook til done and cover with cheese and herbs, etc.

Wait, are you trying to tell me that the other shakshuka you made wasn't for one person? *burp*

[AlexisOnFre]

Cooking for one is not lazy, some of us are just one person, love this!!!!

[CarlosRodriguez-ddsb]

I was happy to see the return of the prodigal freakishly small spoon. We've missed you!

[riuphane]

Let's be honest, this is just an excuse for Chef John to say Shakshuka!!! But I'm here for it!
I love this recipe/dish, really good. If I need it to go further, it's really good over rice too!

[s.k.]

Other food channels include the sounds of the kitchen to create an ASMR effect, but Food Wishes viewers have Chef John's voice for that.

[Hihohiho]

I completely agree Chef, a slightly runny yolk with bread is best!!

This might be the best thing to have when you want breakfast for dinner.

Thanks for all you do. Many years of great recipes, bad puns, and the signature "Enjoy" have made this vlog a part of my world and expanded my culinary repertoire and knowledge. I now cook with cayenne. I hope you enjoy doing this for many years to come!

I made this for my daughter and myself when she was staying with me recently, and I can tell you, they were absolutely delicious!!! I made two variations to the recipe because I didn’t have the ingredients in the fridge. First, we used a little dollop of sour cream under the eggs and I used crumbled goat cheese on top instead of feta. Also, rather than cooking the eggs in the fry pan, I simply poached them and set them in the depression. I can’t wait to make them again, they were wonderful.

The return of the freakishly small wooden spoon!! :)

I have eaten this quite a few times, but I hesitated making it at home because I've only ever seen it made in a larger scale, and critically I know I could have scaled it down super easy, but now I actually have the perfect tomato product to make this with that I received as a simple Valentine's day gift from my wife, a bottle of Mutti tomato puree! This will be on for Sunday morning!! Mmmmm!! Thanks for putting this out there Chef!!

Shakshuka is one of my favorite meals to make my family (especially as a weekend brunch), and it's one of the few meals I can count on my kids being willing to eat without question.

Such great instruction. If I had been a student in one of his classes, I would have learned so much. I am just a home cook. My wife (loves peppers) will love this dish.

Oh CJ, a tear came to my eye
Seeing freakishly small wooden spoon stirring by.

[darkcheaker]

The return of a freakishly small wooden spoon is much appreciated, my friend!

[bogdanmdumitru]

My mouth is watering. I love a bit of harissa in the mix. 😊

Never heard of Shakshuka before I stumbled upon your first video (now 8 years ago). My favorite breakfast since then....Thanks!
