Shakshouka

Roughly $1.50 to $2.50 a portion: eggs poached right in a pan of spiced tomato and pepper sauce. One skillet, a can of tomatoes, a few eggs, cumin and paprika give you a dinner that looks like weekend brunch at a café. Crumble over a little feta if the budget stretches, and mop it all up with cheap bread, which is half the pleasure. It scales easily too: add one more egg for each extra person at the table.
