I'm a line cook at a high end restaurant and my chef let me be in charge of the chef special today and I somewhat made this recipe, however I used quail eggs (which we had a lot we neeeded to get rid of) and heirloom tomato scraps. A good amount of people ordered it and everyone loved it and people even wanted it as a permanent menu item!

"And by a little bit of olive oil I mean a lot" At least someone finally said it. All these chefs doing a 10 second pour for one tablespoon

I have made this shakshuka about 5 times, and each time my entire family still enjoys watching the video (even though I know how to make it). It's a delicious recipe and we all still quote "we gotta make sure our shakshuka is off tha hooka!" Thanks for an awesome recipe! :-)

This guy's cadence is something else.

I love listening to this guy's cooking videos on .5 speed, because he sounds like the world's happiest drunken chef who is making great food!

By the way, Happy Birthday Chef John! He just turned 56 on Thursday, July 11th, 2019.

I am addicted to Chef John's videos. Not only do I learn awesome recipes, but that it's ok to mess up. And I always have at least 2 giggle fits during his commentaries.

Chef, you've got a very peculiar way of speaking, but I think that's one of my favorite parts of these videos

I'm from saudi and we eat shakshuka almost everyday for breakfast (different recipe, much faster and simpler) so I wanted to try this version of shakshuka and my god this is the best shakshuka I have ever had! I will never make shakshuka the same way ever again! xD

Made as directed. Delicious! I crack my egg into a ladle and then use the ladle to make the impression in the sauce while holding the egg and just rock the egg out of the ladle. Yum!

My adopted Dad is Tunisian. I spent a lot of my teens in a town called Douz in the south of Tunisia. We ate a lot of Shakshua. Oviously without the mushrooms (which im gonna try) but also with Harisa. Which is amazing. Top job Chef John :-)

"And yeah I probably should've stopped the camera, and fish that one out and have them all come out perfectly but I didn't. And no it has nothing to do with ethics or keeping it real. It has much more to do with laziness." I love this guy lmao

I'm Tunisian and I can say that this is such a traditional dish that I grew up eating. We usually cook this when run out of dinner or lunch ideas but we also cook this whenever we crave it . Such a simple yet delicious dish

2:50 Did he say *Your shakshuka is off the hookah?* Neat

I just made a simpler version of this for my dinner using an onion, two small green chillies, the spices, the chopped tomatoes, a veg stock cube and 2 eggs. It was AWESOME! I love the taste of the eggs with the spicy sauce and a piece of bread to soak it up. I shall definitely make this again so thanks for the recipe. I also love your amusing commentary!

I just made this today it was great, i devoured it all by myself like an animal.

"it has much more to do with lazyness" I like this guy's humor in his honesty.

I love how down to earth you are and how simple yet delicious these recipes are. I am vegetarian and would love to see more veggie dishes you enjoy making. Thank you for this channel and your work!

I will soooo definitely cooka your Shakshuka.

This was amazing. I added ground breakfast sausage and used goat cheese instead of feta. A+!

Just got a "fork don´t lie" hoodie as a christmas gift from my wife, and it all started with this shakshuka recipe three years ago.Thanks for all you do chef! You are the Chef John of what I put on!

Made this for dinner last evening....EXCELLENT! Apparently I was waiting for Chef John instruction before attempting. I used habanero, sweet red and jalapeno peppers. Fabulous! Nuked leftoversfor breakfast this morning, still fabulous! Thank you!

"Who am I to judge your eggs?!". Never gets old. Thanks for the recipe mate.

First time I ever made this. Followed exact recipe complete Perfection!!!!! It made my recipe book. Thanks Chef John.

One of my favorite weeknight meals to make. It’s quick, easy, and fairly healthy. Not to mention delicious.

I always come back to this recipe when I have veggies or crushed tomatoes that need to be used up! It’s always delicious! Today, I had broccoli that needed to be used up and I wasn’t sure how it would taste but it came out soooo delicious! Thank you so much Chef John!

"YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF MAKING SURE YOUR SHAKSHUKA IS OFF THE HOOKAH" 🤣🤣🤣

I like your laid back, unrefined technique and voice over. Its like learning how to cook with your dad :P

Chef John, Just made this. How many times can I say Fantastic!!! The flavors just explode. I deviated a bit by excluding the Jalapeno (didn't want too much heat for me and the kids), and I added about two dozen raw shrimp and let them cook before the eggs. Wow just Wow. I'm gonna make this again. Thank You again for all that you do!!! Keep these video's and recipe's coming. Love your channel!!!

If you want to taste heaven, turn this into “breakfast for dinner” and serve over chef John’s Persian rice recipe. Also, Shakshuka is a great replacement for any cuss word when your angry.

After one video his humor and walk through really spoke to me. I'm glad I found this and subscribed

you're doing it perfectly man ! I love how good you're with traditional food from other parts of the world ! I'm Arab and this is our traditional Friday breakfast! all the things you said was true, but we do use parsley not cilantro with this dish! I also add mashrooms but I put it instead of sweet pepper ! I only put spicy jalapeno in mine ! huffffff now I'm hungry :(

are we gonna ignore the fact that he is such a good poet..

What a beautiful, yet humble dinner! With some roasted crispy potatoes, you’re bound to be praised as though you whipped up a much more difficult and expensive meal. Thanks chef, this is going to be on my winter dinner rotation for sure! Happy tummies and happy wallets is my new game.

Chef, thank you. I have never even heard of this dish till now. I made it for dinner, I absolutely love it!!! Will be a regular part of our meals from now on.

i love shakshouka, in my country we eat it at lunch, we do it the same way but without mushrooms (as you said)and in tunisia (iam half algerian half tunisian) we make sausage shakshouka and it's my favorite you should try it and we put a little bit of "harissa" too yuuuum, i think that i'll make it today, thank you chef have a nice day.

Love it. I like your voice, it soothes, must say never follow the recipe straight, but I just like hearing your voice while cooking, so relax, really says it all about the motto "it is just you cooking", no pressure

Hi chef, I made this yesterday and even my husband who hates bell pepper liked it. Thank you for teaching this recipe! Hope you're having a great day.

Love this! I lived in Tunis for two years and this was one of my favorite breakfast dishes! 😋🙋🏻‍♀️🙏🏻

Been using mushrooms in this recipe for a while and I definitely agree. It really helps the dish out a lot.

I'm a big fan of eggs in purgatory, and I'll say that this dish is even better. Subbed green onion for white and served it over a rice and chickpea mix, and my family already asked for it again. Thanks for sharing another great egg recipe!

You know... I appreciate your channel a lot. And I don’t like many chef channels, but I do enjoy how clear your teaching is

Followed the recipe to the letter. Wow! The sauce was unfamiliar, exotic and amazing!!!

"So I really wasn't that upset... ..allegedly!" 👍🏼

Can smell that fragrance from here! Have to try this as soon as possible in quarantine 2020! thank you Chef John..Shakshuka!!

So good! I'm from Israel originally but never made Shakshuka at home. This was perfect. Exactly like the pictures and tasty. Now it's added to one of our favorites.

Your dad joke game is strong.

I watch tons of cooking channels on youtube but your recipes are the only ones I ever actually make :$

Love your attitude. Made your Portuguese custard tarts recently after a vacation in Portugal and they took me back to mornings in Lisbon. Thanks!

I really love Chef John. He reminds me that there are really nice people in the world and really tasty food

The guy sounds like he is asking questions when he's not.

looks like something fairly affordable and easy that a student like me could make!! always love your videos chef john. the more difficult recipes i save in my mind for my future dinner parties! :)

I just made this for the first time today with my own spin on things, and it turned out PHENOMENAL! I used a blend of this recipe and America's Test Kitchen Teen Cookbook's version, whereas I added a teaspoon of ground coriander and two minced garlic cloves with the spices, chopped up roasted red peppers (in place of red peppers), and garnished everything with parsley, cilantro, and cheddar cheese (didn't have feta). I also sauteed the onions and mushrooms with chilli crisp as well in the olive oil! Absolutely delectable dish and perfect commentary to put anyone in a cheery mood. Thank you, Chef John!

John just is the happiest sounding man of all time its so bloody infectious

shashuka off the hooka....ROFLOL This is actually a great dish...especially for a cold winter Sunday....comforting. nicely done, chef!

Love this guy, he's a fun and fantastic chef! Thanks Chef!

Your videos are extremely helpful when trying to prepare foods I've never eaten before. Not sure if I did it right but it tastes fantastic! Thank you Chef

When my mum kicks me out of the house for yelling shakshuka at 2 am I will thank you Chef John

_who am I to judge your eggs?_ *SPEECH 100*

Just the thing during cold winter, came out fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I just did a trial run of making one serving just to see how it is. Absolutely delicious!! Definitely going to be a favorite dish to make from now on. I'm planning on making it for my parents and brother later this week now.

I want you to know chef John, this was my first video I've ever watched of yours. Thanks so much for guiding me in my food journey.

Love it! Thank you so much, I made this for us plus guests tonight, and we all loved it!! I just followed your video (didn't really feel like this needed any additional measurements) ;) One of our guest doesn't eat mushroomes, so I had to exchange them for zucchini - worked nicely, althought I imagine mushrooms to give more taste to the dish :) Thanks!!

Shakshuka off the hooka? I owe you one internet slap.

Thank you for all the videos!!!! I'm enjoying cooking new things

I can't wait to try this!! I love your recipes!! You make me feel I can do anything you show us 😍

looks easy enough for some midnight munchies

I made it twice and it tastes amazing with homemade bread. The second time i put some spicy sausages and it was superbe!

This was one of the first Chef John recipes I ever made and it was 👌🏻 then and now. Just made this agains for myself for brunch and it was absolutely delicious!

My god!! Not only are you a great chef, you also have a great sense of humor!!!

I made this today! I didn't have San Marzano tomatoes, but I did have a can of Hunt's fire-roasted tomatoes, so I used that instead. I also maybe burned the onions and mushrooms just a hair, and I also overcooked the eggs. I wanted medium, but they came out more like medium-well. All that being said, I think this still turned out to be an amazing and flavorful dish that I'd definitely make again!

I've made a lot of your recipes and this one is probably my favorite. I make it for breakfast at least a couple times a month, its a bit spicy for my family but my wife is starting to appreciate it. :)

I love it I ate it often when I lived in Turkey and now make my own crappy version back here in England so hopefully this recipe will up my game, cheers.

This video was off the hooka. Liked for that pun. Thank you chef!

Wow love this! And love the narration 💖💖💖💖

I actually made this a couple days ago for my family and I and it turned out awesome. The mushrooms were a great addition and added some savory juicy flavor to the whole dish so I'd recommend anyone to add mushrooms as well. I also added a cubed gold Yukon potato in the beginning of the saute with the onions and mushrooms. They're less starchy than brown potatoes so they kept their shape and were nicely done once the whole affair was finished. They definitely add some hearty elements to this otherwise primarily acidic dish, not traditional and more of a personal preference but it was a nice addition overall. Just make sure to saute them in the very beginning with the onions and mushrooms otherwise they'll be under-cooked. I also baked slices of french loaf with garlic butter to act as our toast, not very traditional whatsoever but I couldn't argue with the results. Only thing I'd say is if you want a spicier result, keep the seeds in your jalapeno (I didn't and really wish I did) and maybe even add some chili flakes to your saute'd veggies if you're feeling frisky. Easily one of the most flavorful things I've ever made, 10/10 would make again.

I love your recipes as well as your personality!! I especially loved it when you confessed yelling out ‘Shakshka!” for no apparent reason! You made me laugh out loud!!!

Ohmygod! This is one of my favourite dishes. I could have this and then, have your baklava for desert.. Salivating.

this shakshuka is off the hooka haha

"So I really wasn't upset! :) ...allegedly. ._. " haha.

I have just discovered your channel and man I love your fun attitude alongside great recipes. This and the pizza sauce recipe rock. Thank you!

I just made this, again !!! Thank you for the recipe. So delicious

OMG. CHEF JOHN UPLOADED ON MY BIRTHDAY!! Dreams do come true 😝😝😝

That looks really tasty! But if it were me I wouldive put more cheese.

It's freaking me out how good it looks, definitely gonna try it this weekend.

Best shakshuka recipe I have come across. The mushrooms make it exceptional! Thank you.

I love these videos. You have a great voice and unlike most food vid these are not OVERPRODUCED! I hate long intros and excessive cuts and music and junk. Really nice vids. Ditto on the wooden spoon though, the plastic one isn't good hahaha

made this a few times with the basic recipe. But then i tried with some chorizo, which you start off with before putting the onions in the pan. It is ridiculously good.

This looks WONDERFUL. I;m gonna try to make it

So who else did a search for Chef John and Shakshuka after seeing his brand new post of "Shakshuka for One?" I watched that, and thought it was amazing, as most of his recipes are! But...I live in a household with three other hungry adult guys and as much as I wanna make this, I needed to know how to scale it up! Well.. here it is. I can't wait to try this recipe this coming weekend!

Made this for my Fiancé and he loved it! Thank you for the recipe!!!

i am a somali person and all somali love shashuka and also we call it shakshuka and i love it soo much 💗💗💗💓💕

thank you Chef John! I'm somewhat new to cooking and I've never had Shakshuka before but I made these for my boyfriend (who has long lauded his old housemate's shakshukas) and he said it's the best shakshuka he's ever had, and called it "a shakshuka he'd be telling family about". Yay! I used two birds eye chillis (we love spice) and used a middle eastern spice mix because I ran out of cumin. I was worried it would be too spicy (for my boyfriend. I'm Indian so I'm immune) but it was perfect and not very spicy at all! The mushrooms are genius, they fit right in. The whole pot disappeared in minutes. Thank you!

Just made this for the first time!! I cut down the spice a little bit because my boyfriend is a wimp, and it was still pretty much the best thing I've ever had. Will definitely make it again

Shakshooka : a typical Algerian dish we dig eating it especially in summer

I love this - but you totally missed garlic.

omg.. first time watching this guy. I love it!

Thank you! I love breakfast food. Finding something different can be a challenge at times.
