Another one of this week's Hello Fresh dishes! I wasn't super optimistic about the kidlet liking this one, since she's usually lukewarm at best on tomatoes, but she loved it, finally running out steam halfway through the third bowl. The garlic-toasted baguette rounds didn't hurt, either.

Spicy Shakshuka with Chickpeas, Bell Pepper and Bocconcini

Hello Fresh

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 bell peppers, cored, sliced, and chopped into ~1cm pieces
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 30mL Shakshuka spice blend
• 800mL tinned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 740mL crushed tomatoes
• 10mL chili garlic sauce
• 14g parsley, coarsely chopped
• 200g bocconcini
• 4 demibaguettes or similar breadthings

Directions

1. In a large, deep pan, sautée the onions and peppers over medium heat until tender-crisp.
2. Add the garlic and spice blend. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, ~1 minute.
3. Add chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, chili garlic sauce, and 125mL water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens slightly, ~10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, slice the demibaguettes into bread rounds, spread with garlic butter, and toast until golden brown.
5. Stir in half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Top with bocconcini. Cover until the bocconcini melts.
7. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve with bread rounds.
