Equipment

  • Lidded skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • black pepper
  • 3 medium garlic cloves minced
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper optional
  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp hot gochujang paste strength and quantity to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach stems removed
  • 5 eggs
  • ⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Toasted bread for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the onion, red pepper, salt, and black pepper in oil for about 8 minutes over a campfire, or stove, of medium heat.
  • Reduce your campfire to medium-low and stir in the garlic, paprika, cumin, and cayenne. After about a minute add the crushed tomatoes and gochujang. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and stir. Dig 5 divots into the stew and crack an egg into each. Cover the skillet and let them poach for about 6 minutes or until they are to your desired doneness.

  • Serve and get back to adventuring!

Notes

This is a wonderfully simple warm, creamy, and spicy stew for resting between adventures. We took a twist on typical shakshuka with using gochujang paste, a sweet and savory spicy paste that goes well on anything. We used 2 tbsp of hot gochujang and it came out with only a slight zing of spicy, but you can add more or less of hotter or milder paste to your taste. 
 
Keep a close eye on your eggs, they can go from raw to hard boiled pretty quickly. As soon s the whites get mostly set, be attentive and ready to pull the skillet off your cooking fire.
 
We used a cheaper loaf of bread for scooping the stew with as we expected most of the flavor to be in the stew itself, however there is certainly room for a nice bread to shine in this. We definitely recommend investing some of your gold there as the rest of the recipe is rather cheap.
