MEXICAN SHAKSHUKA AKA 'EGGS IN A POT'



Mexican Shakshuka aka 'Eggs in a Pot' image

This is a delicious Mexican chorizo stew with poached eggs. We had this dish in a small beach hotel in Tulum, Mexico called Playa Azul. I have spent the last year recreating and perfecting it. My family loves it. Update: After years of making eggs in a pot, I finally came to realize that the dish I had in Mexico was a version of the Middle Eastern dish, shakshuka.

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (15 ounce) package chorizo sausage
1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
¼ large onion, diced
1 (22 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth, or more to taste
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 loaf French bread, cut into 1/4-inch slices
¼ cup butter, or to taste
2 tablespoons baking soda
8 eggs, or more to taste
½ cup crumbled queso fresco
⅔ cup Mexican crema, crema fresca

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chorizo with mushrooms and onion in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard fat.
  • Combine diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and tomato paste in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and stir in the chorizo mixture and most of the crema, reserving a small amount to drizzle on top later. Cover and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew is the texture of a thick chili, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Lightly butter both sides of the bread slices and place on a baking sheet.
  • Toast in the preheated oven, turning bread halfway, for 10 minutes.
  • Fill a pot with water and add baking soda. Bring to a boil. Add eggs and boil for exactly 5 minutes and 45 seconds. Remove eggs and immediately place into an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Remove shells.
  • Place eggs into the chorizo stew to re-warm them. Top with queso fresco and drizzle with the remaining crema. Serve in bowls with pieces of toasted bread.
