Method
- Mix the pepper, onion, oil, harissa and spices in a microwaveable jug. Microwave on high for 2 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and microwave for another 4 mins, stirring halfway through. Season well, then add the spinach and half the coriander. Microwave for 2 mins.
- Pour into a microwaveable bowl and make 2 wells. Break the eggs into the wells, prick the yolks with a cocktail stick, then microwave for 3 mins. If they’re not quite cooked, cover and cook for another 30 secs.
- Top with avocado, if using, and scatter with the last of the coriander and some black pepper. Pop the pitta in the microwave for 20 secs; serve with the shakshuka.
