Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share a recipe that I plan to make this holiday week for a healthy and delicious brunch. It could also be a light dinner. Shakshuka is a Mediterranean/North African dish traditionally made with tomatoes, but I like the idea of using greens instead.
Green Shakshuka
Serves 4
Ingredients
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
8 oz. brussels sprouts, trimmed and thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1/2 large red onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 large bunch of kale or chard, thick stems removed, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1 tsp. Aleppo pepper or 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 tsp. ground coriander
3/4 tsp. cumin
juice of 1/2 lemon
4 large eggs
1 green onion, trimmed and chopped
fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
feta cheese, crumbled for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large pan or skillet with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium high heat until shimmering, then add the sliced brussels sprouts and a dash of salt. Cook for 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and garlic, tossing occasionally for 3-4 minutes, make sure that garlic does not burn.
3. Add the kale and toss for 5 minutes (less for chard). Add spinach and toss to combine with a pinch of salt.
4. Add the spices and toss to combine. Add 1/2 cup water. Turn heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes until kale is completely wilted. Stir in lemon juice.
5. Using a spoon, make 4 wells in the greens. Crack an egg into each well and season with a little salt. Cover the pan and cook for 4 minutes, depending upon how firm you like your eggs.
6. Remove from heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Garnish with green onion, parsley, and feta. Serve with crusty bread or flatbread. Enjoy!
