Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1 tsp thyme
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup goat or feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt + pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, to garnish
- Optional: sourdough or whole wheat toast to serve
Instructions
- Heat a large pan over medium. Add olive oil and sauté chopped bell pepper for ~5 minutes.
- Add spinach to the pan, sautéing for about 1 minute until slightly wilted.
- Add tomato sauce, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting for taste. Cook for ~3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Using the back of a spoon or spatula, make space in the sauce mixture to crack the eggs into. Next, sprinkle with crumbled cheese and cover pan with a lid.
- Let cook until egg whites are done (around 5-10 minutes), making sure not to overcook (you want the yolks to still be soft). NOTE: Keep an eye on the eggs at this point, as timing will differ depending on how deep your pan is, how hot your oven is, etc.
- Remove pan from heat, and sprinkle with fresh basil, cracked pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy hot and serve with a side of freshly toasted sourdough!
Notes
*LEFTOVERS: If you have leftovers of this shakshuka recipe, simply store them in an airtight container. They'll keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. The easiest way to reheat the leftovers is in the microwave! Since it's a pretty "liquid" meal, you won't get any compromise in texture.
*RECIPE VARIATIONS:
- Try using different greens instead of spinach, like kale or chard.
- Try using different veggies in place of red bell peppers - it's a great way to use up anything going bad!
- Try experimenting with different spice combinations. One I particularly love is a mix of cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
- Omit the goat cheese (if dairy-free), or swap it with feta or parmesan.
- Try adding in freshly chopped onion or garlic for extra flavour.
- Use any type of canned tomatoes - tomato sauce, fire-roasted, strained, crushed, even harissa...they will all work!
