Mini Shakshuka Cups
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 clove Garlic (crushed)
- 1 tsp Paprika (smoked)
- 1 tsp Cumin (ground)
- 1 tsp Coriander (ground)
- 400 g Tomatoes (chopped)
- 400 g Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
- 3 Wholewheat Wraps
- 6 Quails' eggs
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, over a medium heat. Add the crushed garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin and ground coriander. Cook for a few minutes, stirring all the time, then add the chopped tomatoes and black beans. Bring up to a simmer and allow the mixture to gently bubble away for 10-15 minutes until starting to thicken. Take off the heat and set aside to cool. This part of the recipe can be pre-prepared up to 3 days ahead.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C conventional or 180°C fan.
- Use scissors to cut the wraps into rough rounds – large enough for each round to be pressed into a hole of a muffin tin to create a cup.
- Spoon the cooled bean mixture into each wrap ‘cup’, pressing down to make a little divot in each. Crack the quail eggs one by one, pouring each one into a divot as you go.
- Put the muffin tray into the pre-heated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until the quail eggs are just set. Serve straight away!

Per serving. Nutrition content in food is never consistent, so take these estimates with a pinch of salt! Also, our recipes tend to use low-GI carbs and sugars, so these values are not directly comparable with shop-bought UPFs.
