Storage & Leftovers
Storing your Jacked-Shuka (Extra Spicy Eggs in Hell) in an airtight container in the fridge may allow you to store it for up to 3-4 days. Make sure to refrigerate the dish promptly and then, when ready to eat, reheat properly. It’s not like I originally invented anything crazy. At its core, Shakshuka is a recipe of eggs simmered and poached in a spicy tomato sauce. It’s huge in the middle east, where it is popular for dinner. Sounds right up my alley, right? Easy, spicy, tasty. However! You guys know me. When I have something spicy, I want something SPICY! So as much as I really do LOVE my own Shakshuka Recipe, I thought I would bring a new version specifically to those who love to push the spicy heat levels as far as they can go. May I introduce to you… JACKED-SHUKA. Now THIS…this is crazy. A little. With this version, I made the spicy tomato sauce with a mixture of chopped ghost peppers and brain strain peppers grown in my garden this year, along with spicy hot chorizo and a mixture of superhot chili powder made from peppers I dehydrated and crushed. Talk about heat! Sorry, Patty. If you truly love the heat, you can use any of the superhot chili peppers. If you’re purchasing them, ghost peppers are usually the easiest to find in the stores, though you may need to grow them yourself or find an online resource. Plenty of peppers to go around, my friends. The process is rather simple to cook up this recipe. Next, add crushed tomatoes and give the whole thing a stir. Let it simmer at least 10 minutes, though 30 minutes is better to let the flavors develop more. Give it a taste. Nice and hot, right? When you have the flavor you’re looking for, make small indentations in the simmering tomato sauce and crack the eggs into them. Once the egg whites are cooked through, garnish with fresh chopped herbs and a crumbly white cheese. And! Don’t forget your favorite hot sauce and crusty bread. You’ll need the bread to scoop up that piquant tomato sauce that is sure to rock your world. Bring on the heat, my friends! Oh yeah. This one has some heat for you. Check out the VIDEO RECIPE below.
