For brunch, we topped ours with eggs, but it would be great with any meat or fish pairing for dinner! I made this up myself, so measurements are roughly estimated. Feel free to play around with it!<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-ingredients\"><h3>Ingredients<\/h3><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>1 large tbsp tomato paste<\/li>\n<li>1 chicken stock cube with 1 cup water (or just 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 fresh lemon, juiced (can substitute lime)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 medium yellow onion, diced<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp extra virgin olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 tsp ground cardamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 heaping tsp garlic powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 heaping tsp chili powder<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp ground ginger<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp ground cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust this as you wish for spice)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 heaping tsp turmeric<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 tsp ground coriander<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp cumin<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp paprika<\/li>\n<li>Fresh parsley, roughly chopped for serving<\/li>\n<li>Bread of choice, grilled\/broiled for dipping<\/li>\n<li>Optional: 1\/2 cup rice, lentils, or chickpeas along with black olives for serving. Can also serve with any eggs, meat, or fish as desired!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-directions instructions\"><h3>Directions<\/h3><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heat olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and saute until tender and fragrant.<\/li>\n<li>Add the can of diced tomatoes along with chicken stock cube and water, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat if necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Add the cardamon, garlic powder, chili powder, ginger, cinnamon, cayenne, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and paprika. Stir to combine and cook for a minute or two to allow flavours to meld together. Taste to adjust any spices as necessary.<\/li>\n<li>Add tomato paste and mix well. Allow the sauce to reduce until thickened slightly. Shouldn&#8217;t be overly runny. Mix in the lemon juice a few minutes before serving.<\/li>\n<li>Top with fresh parsley and grill\/broil some nice bread of choice for dipping!<\/li>\n<li>For serving options: mix in cooked lentils and\/or chickpeas to add protein and iron while keeping it vegetarian. This goes amazingly well with poached eggs and sausage for a brunch dish. Or serve over rice, with any meat or fish option you choose. Black olives are also a great addition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medinacafe.com\/\">Medina Cafe<\/a>\u00a0for the inspiration!
