Shakshouka is a Middle-Eastern egg dish, very similar to an Italian version called ‘Eggs in Purgatory’, both poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Eggs are not just for breakfast, and sometimes the perfect comfort dinner is an egg one. You can make this with fresh or canned tomatoes, and I like this one from the website Add a Pinch:

I’ve always been very partial to the cookbooks that I began with when I was young; one of my favorite authors has always been Molly Katzen, whose ‘Enchanted Broccoli Forest’ was one of my go-to books when I was experimenting with vegetarianism. I recently found this interesting recipe for Peceli - Pineapple Relish that she describes as ‘Chutney, Indonesian Style’ - in another of her books, ‘Still Life With Menu’:
Piceli (Spicy Pineapple Relish)
3 C. fresh, ripe Pineapple chunks
1 C. water or fruit juice (Orange, apple, pineapple)
¼ tsp. Salt
Freshly Grated Black Pepper
½ tsp. Ground Cumin
½ tsp. Ground Coriander
½ tsp. Ground Cloves
½ tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. Crushed Red Pepper (or less, to taste)
¼ tsp. Nutmeg
2 T. packed Brown Sugar
2 T. fresh Lemon Juice
½ C. minced Onion
Combine everything is a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to moderate. Cook 20 to 30 minutes uncovered, or until reduced to a chutney-like thickness.
Cool and refrigerate until use.
Here is a link to Molly’s website, with lots of recipes:

I was looking around for a low-carb Crab Casserole that might be quicker to make than my version of Crab Imperial, and found this Hot Crab Casserole:

Comfort food to the max!
You had me at, ‘Nutella!’ :)
Looks like those ramekins aren’t staying in the kitchen cupboard for too long.
I regret not taking a picture of our breakfast for you; the shirred eggs were quite lovely! Next time. :)
I bet your shirred eggs put the pictured ones to shame.
