Hello friends and not-yet-friends!
Welcome back to Mary's Test Kitchen were we're
making something super simple, looks kinda
fancy and is so delicious.
Vegan Shakshuka.
For One.
In about Five Minutes.
You'll need a tomato sauce.
Today, mine is crushed tomatoes with nothing
else in it.
Also silky silken tofu as a stand-in for the
poached eggs.
You can use any silken or soft tofu.
Just keep in mind, the fresh kind is better
tasting than the tetra pak kind in this dish.
By the way, if you want to try making your
own silken tofu, check out my video on how
to make silken tofu from scratch.
It's pretty fun even though it's extra work.
You'll also want garlic,
olive oil,
and cumin for this Middle Eastern dish
and perhaps paprika
which I've run out of so
I'm using Korean red pepper flakes
AKA gochugaru,
which I'm sure someone is going to tell me

I'm pronoucing wrong.
Lay off, I'm doing my best.
Some ground coriander seed for bright lemony
herbaceousness.
And dried chives. Or fresh if you have it
handy.
Let's start by ladling some of that tomato
into a microwave safe bowl. About a half cup.
Ish. I'm not about the measurements when I
want something quick and easy, just for myself.
We can adjust later if we need or want to.
Add an eighth teaspoon ground coriander,
an eighth teaspoon ground cumin,
some salt if your sauce isn't already salted,
and a quarter teaspoon of red pepper flakes
or paprika.
And finally, one minced clove of garlic.
Of course, adjust your seasonings
if you're not using plain crushed tomatoes.
Add a little olive oil and mix mix mix. If
you want to keep this oil-free, you do you.
It'll still work.
Then add your tofu. I just made inch thick
slices and pressed them into the sauce.

And that's ready for the microwave.
Get it going with a one touch start which
gives you a minute
and then you can wait and watch.
Take out the bowl and give the sauce a little
gentle stir. Microwaves generally heat the
outside faster so push the sauce at the edges
in or the middle sauce out.
Then continue heating with 30 second intervals.
I only needed the one round as I started with
room temperature tomato sauce. You'll need
longer if you started with cold.

Top with some chives.
And to make this prettier,
spoon up the tofu to reveal that contrast.
Add some tasty toasted seasoned sunflower seeds
or other crunchy seeds or nuts, some
more red pepper flakes, and maybe add a little
olive oil. Highly reccommended for the flavour.
And there you have it.
Beautiful vegan shashuka
for one.
The combination of crunchy sunflower seeds
and smooth silken tofu with tangy spiced tomato
sauce is just so wonderful. And it all took
less than five minutes to put together.
Know anyone who's level of cooking skills
or just lack of time could really use this
recipe?
Please send this over to them.
You may just change...
their morning!
