Omri's seafood ojja

Like it spicy? You're going to love, love, love ojja. My Omri Feyez makes the tastiest ojja, which is basically a simple, very quick Tunisian tomato and chilli based stew. This is the seafood version but Feyez often makes it with small cubed potato replacing the seafood to make it totally vegetarian friendly.

Ingredients
4 garlic cloves
1 onion
4 fresh tomatoes chopped up in a small dice
3 tsp tomato purée
2tsp Harissa
Cup water
1tbsp Oliver oil
Seafood (one frozen seafood mix)
Two far green chillies
1tsp cayenne pepper
1tsp ground caraway or coriander

Soften the onions, garlic and tomato dice in the oil for a few minutes. Add 3 teaspoons of tomato purée
to the pan and mix well.
2 tsp Harissa to pan and stir small cup of water added to pan and stir and reduce slightly.
Add defrosted seafood to pan and salt black pepper and one heaped tsp of cayenne pepper. The sauce should thicken and meld together nicely. Add chopped green chilli and caraway to pan and stir heat through thoroughly for about 10 minutes. Serve in a bowl with lots of crusty bread and if you like a fried egg on top to make it extra dippy scrumptious.
