Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 zucchinis, thinly sliced
2 yellow squash, thinly sliced
3 tomatoes, chopped
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
2 hot chile peppers, chopped
5 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
2 ½ tablespoons harissa
1 tablespoon water, divided

Steps:

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes, and chile peppers, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the burner over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs to the bowl of vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
  • Using two knives, cut into the eggs and vegetables, mincing the mixture up into small pieces until well blended. It will look mushy.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the harissa with water, one teaspoon at a time, until the mixture is pourable but still thick. Pour the harissa over the kaftaji and serve.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I had to substitute another ingredient. The dish still turned out great!

This dish is way too spicy for me. I could barely eat it.

The meatballs were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more liquid next time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices to taste, and it was much better.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery, and it turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this dish was surprisingly mild. The spices were flavorful without being overpowering.
