Method
step 1
Finely chop the onion, then chop the aubergine, courgette and pepper into 1cm cubes.
step 2
Heat the oil in a deep, lidded frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion with a pinch of salt for 5 mins. Add the courgettes, aubergine and peppers, and fry for another 10 mins until the aubergine is very soft and translucent. Grate in 2 of the garlic cloves, then add the oregano and chipotle paste, and fry for another minute. Pour in the tomatoes and half a can of water, and simmer for 15 mins, covered with the lid. Test the aubergine with a knife – it should be very soft.
step 3
Taste for seasoning, then add a pinch of sugar and the vinegar. Make two or four gaps in the ratatouille, then crack in the eggs. Cover and simmer for 3-5 mins until the whites are set.
step 4
Tip the yogurt into a bowl, add most of the herbs and grate in the last garlic clove, then whizz until smooth using a hand blender (or do this in a jug blender). Add a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Spoon the herby yogurt over the shakshuka, sprinkle over the remaining herbs, season with black pepper and serve with the bread.
