Shakshuka
Shakshuka built on a jar of marinara rather than from scratch — onion, garlic and four spices do the rest, and it is on the table in about twenty minutes. Leave out the cayenne if the kids are eating it; everything else is mild.
Let the sauce reduce for the full five to seven minutes before the eggs go in. A thin sauce will not hold them, so instead of sitting in neat wells on top they sink and scramble through it. Serve with pita for dipping.
