This wholesome shakshuka recipe is for individuals who have by no means even heard of shakshuka.
I hadn’t heard of it both till I encountered it on a brunch menu in Mexico (over a 12 months in the past). What is that this mysterious “shakshuka”? I did know I used to be going to love it as a result of it has tomatoes and eggs (a fantastic combo).
Shakshuka (additionally spelled shakshouka or chakchouka) is an enormous pan of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic, and olive oil. It could be spiced with cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. The recipe has been round in Mediterranean cultures for centuries.
Since I discovered it in Mexico – I used to be fairly confused to see that it was Mediterranean. However, if you consider it for a second – Mexican meals options tomatoes, peppers, eggs, cumin… It is sensible that it migrated to Mexico.
At any fee, I fell in love and was thrilled to seek out recipes that confirmed my suspicion that shakshuka is wholesome. YES!
I added feta cheese to this shakshuka however you don’t should. For those who go away it out, you should have nearly no factors for Blue or Purple WW program members. The one factor that counts within the recipe is the one tablespoon of olive oil.
I added the feta as a result of I believe it makes it extra tasty. Additionally, my children will eat something with cheese in it. It’s nonetheless a wholesome shakshuka with the feta as I don’t use an excessive amount of.
How do you make it? First, you make a thick tomato sauce. You then float some eggs on prime and ship the pan right into a preheated oven. The oven cooks the eggs and you then eat it with some good bread (or not).
You’ll be able to eat this wholesome shakshuka for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I wish to make an additional one and eat all of it week. It’s scrumptious heated up within the microwave nevertheless it doesn’t freeze nicely.
You would freeze the sauce half earlier than you place within the feta and the eggs.
