ShakShuka

Ever feel the need to spice up your breakfast? Try Shakshuka.
Shakshuka is a traditional mediterranean/Israeli dish with a stew of tomatoes, onions, and peppers, topped with over easy eggs #OverEasyIsEasy.
One of the best Shakshukas I've had in the city was from Hummus Place on St. Mark's Place in the East Village.
Here's how to make it in your small and smelly NYC apartment.
Remember, most of the ingredients can be substituted for other ingredients or even left out of the recipe completely.

Ingredients:

2 ripe plum tomatoes
1 container grape tomatoes
1 small onion (shallots work too)
1 clove garlic
1/2 sweet pepper
1-2 tablespoons capers
Small handfull of olives, pitted (any kind you prefer)
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Sprinkle of turmeric
4-5 Large (organic, cage free) eggs
Bunch of fresh baby spinach
1 package mushrooms (any kind)
2 ounces (herbed) goat cheese
Sprig of thyme
Salt and Pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
SRIRACHA to taste!

1) Warm the vegetable oil in a pan (medium heat) and sprinkle in some of the turmeric right onto the oil.
2) Chop up the onion and add it to the pan. Chop up the pepper and add it to the pan.
3) Chop up the plum tomatoes and slice the grape tomatoes in half (keep handy). Finely chop the Garlic and add it to the pan.
4) Chop up the mushrooms and olives and add them to the pan as soon as the onions and peppers become golden.
5) Allow everything in the pot to merry together for about 3-5 minutes, then add the tomatoes and sprinkle in some salt, pepper, SRIRACHA, and the sprig of thyme.
6) Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, stirring occasionally.
7) When the vegetables seem to have become sauce-like, 5-8 minutes, crack the eggs right onto the mixture and cover the pan again for about 2-3 minutes.
8) When the eggs are almost as cooked through as you like, sprinkle a large portion of spinach on top of them (not mixing anything) and cover the pot for 1-2 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
9) Turn off the flame and dollop the goat cheese right over the spinach and sprinkle with some more SRIRACHA for some extra heat.
10) Sprinkle with parmesan for garnish.
