Red Shakshuka

Typically, I make this for breakfast on the weekends, but it’s just as good for dinner.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp Avocado Oil or Ghee
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1 Med Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 3 C Spinach, packed
  • 1 Jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 28oz Can Whole Tomatoes, roughly chopped (or use fresh)
  • 1/2 tsp ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Cayenne (optional)
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (or more to taste)
  • 6 Large Pasture-Raised Eggs
  • 5 oz feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet with a lid, heat the avocado oil or ghee over medium heat. Once hot, add the leeks and onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and stir. Add turmeric, paprika, cumin, and jalapeno if using. Stire and cook for 1 minute. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Add spinach or other greens and stir. Cook until the greens are softened, about 5 minutes. Add coconut milk and stir to combine. Add more salt or pepper to taste.
  4. Using a large spoon, create wells for each egg in the shakshuka and carefully crack an egg into each well. Increase heat to medium-high and place the lid on the skillet. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the whites are still jiggly but set.
  5. Top with the feta crumbles, then cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with avocado slices and some extra fresh ground pepper if desired.
