Cooking Instructions
- Finely dice the onion. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Dice the pepper into 2cm squares. Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the prepped veg and cook for 5 mins, until softened.
- Add the turkey to the pan and cook for 5 mins, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the spice mix, passata and 120ml hot water (60ml for 1 person). Crumble in the stock cube and simmer for 10-12 mins, until the turkey is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Check your turkey mince is cooked through; the meat should be white with the juices running clear. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- In the meantime, heat a small frying pan with 1 tsp oil on high heat. Drain and rinse the sweetcorn. Once the pan is hot, add the sweetcorn to the pan and cook for 2 mins, until deep golden brown. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the avo salsa; dice the avocado into 2cm cubes. Finely chop the coriander. Thinly slice the spring onions. Zest and quarter the lime. Add the zest, avocado, spring onions, coriander and juice from 2 lime wedges to the sweetcorn bowl. Season with sea salt and black pepper and gently mix together.
- Bring a small saucepan filled with hot water to a boil. Carefully lower the egg into the pan using a spoon. Boil for 6 mins then remove, run under cold water briefly and carefully peel. Cut in half.
- Serve the turkey shakshuka with the avo salsa and egg. Garnish with the remaining lime wedges.
