Does it really need to roasted? can i opt to boil the sweet potato
His oven temps are in celsius aren’t they?
I ate all my chips before the shakshuka was done cooking. 😕 They were amazing. That thing made my home smell like the kitchen corner of paradise. YUMMMMMMMM.
When this recipe says North African, does anyone know if there is a particular country this is from?
This man is my absolute favourite in the whole world. He is so incredibly talented gentle and kind
Amazing. Thank you Ottolenghi and the OTK ~~~ !
This is very interesting. I’m loving the flavor infusions.
Protip: poke the sweet potato and then wrap in a wet napkin and microwave fro 10-12 minutes (depending on size). Same result. A third of the time.
❤️❤️❤️, thank you!
wonderfull
Wonderful! Thank you. I’m looking forward to cooking this.😊
I made this for dinner tonight; it was astoundingly good. I only had half a kilo of sweet potatoes, so I used those plus a half a kilo of russets. fortunately I was able to keep everything else the same. it’s SO good with homemade bread!
Making Ottolenghi recipes has been my favorite pastime to survive yet another quarantine and this recipe was simply delicious. Thank you!

YO, Am surprised you didn’t sprinkle your favorite mixed spiced Za’aatar on your potato skins instead of salt .
Yes, I LOVED how well the eggs cooked in the moisture from the sweet potato. And the sticky bits are indeed the best. After those onions! This was a really exciting one to discover so I thank you all for it.🙏
I learned to cook in Italy and returned to America by accident being in your kitchen is wonderful much love Sara
sweet potatoes — yuk!! took this recipe, but went back to regular potatoes.
This was a delight! The pickled onions were key.
I love this guy. You should have him on more often. Great vid!
I’m going to try making a vegan version.
I’ve been asking this question in various cooking video comments section :
Adding salt to (nearly) everything, I get. It boosts/contrasts with the other flavours and “rounds out” a dish.
But pepper?? To me pepper is such a specific flavour and spice. I love it, but putting it on everything to me would be like adding cinnamon, or cardamom, or juniper berries to all your food.
Why/how has pepper come to be so ubiquitous?
Please feel free to reply and comment, I’m very curious! Merci!
(Edit : great video and recipe, btw! I love this channel!)
Hello Editor. The eggs went in, the chili butter was created, and then the eggs went in!?! Just recently subscribed and your channel has already taken a hit. There are hundreds of food centric channels out here, please pay attention. Thanks.
野菜も入っているので色合いもよく、とってもおいしそうですね✨
What kind of pan does he use ?
Whenever I try an Ottolenghi recipe, I think, "How is this going to work? This is going to be terrible!" Then magic happens.
When he mentioned doing it on polenta, it clicked for me that I’ve been making savory oatmeal shakshuka for a while now, without realizing. 😂 Same vibes, oatmeal with cheese and spices, garnished with arugula.
Will aubergine (eggplant) work as a base too?
Another wonderful vlog. Who would have known that it is one of your final episodes.
what can i use instead of cheese
I’ve made this twice, will do so soon again and will happily assert it is DELICIOUS even if I’m sure I need to keep learning all of its secrets. The crispy skins are a delight and I make more of the onions as they are welcome. It was a fast favourite!
