Green shakshuka

ADS

Fresh greens, feta cheese, and many spices are used to make shakshuka

Relative ease

Time preparation: Forty-five minutes of hands-on time; one serving of each

An variation of the traditional Middle Eastern breakfast meal, this recipe for ‘green’ shakshuka, which was authored by Ruth Nieman, is a greener take on the dish. It is made with a mixture of greens and fresh herbs, and it is finished off with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of salty feta cheese, and some coriander leaves.

In remembrance of the gourmet writer Marlena Spieler, who once said that eggs and chiles were “the only perfect flavor combination I know,” Ruth has provided us with this recipe as a way to show her appreciation for Spieler. There are a number of cookbooks that Spieler has written, one of which is titled Hot & Spicy (1985).

Marlena was most well-known in her own country of the United States of America; nonetheless, her enthralling writing, enthusiasm for bold flavors, and kind attitude provided millions of readers with the opportunity to experience the excitement of cuisine from cultures all over the globe, particularly the Middle East. Considering that I am not a fan of the extreme heat that chili peppers provide, this recipe is a more modest homage to our culinary legend than the one shown before. It is recommended by Ruth that bits of crusty bread be served with it so that the liquids may be absorbed by the whole dish.

To start: In this method, you will prepare the classic shakshuka that is based on tomatoes

Lets Make it!


To get started, put the butter and olive oil in a large deep frying pan and set it over a heat setting that is somewhere between low and medium. Cook the leek, spring onions, and fennel over a low heat for eight to ten minutes, or until they have become more soft. This should take around eight minutes. After adding in the chard, spinach, coriander, and parsley, continue cooking for an additional four to five minutes without disturbing the mixture.


Following the addition of cumin, sumac, aleppo pepper, and lemon juice, a couple of great pinches of salt and pepper should be offered for the purpose of flavoring the dish. Proceed with the cooking process for a further two minutes.


To prepare the greens, first use the back of a tablespoon to create four wells, and then carefully break an egg into each of the wells. This will ensure that the greens are cooked thoroughly. After sprinkling each egg with a pinch of salt, cover the pan with a lid or foil and cook the eggs for five to six minutes, or until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. This should be done until the eggs are cooked through.
First, remove the pan from the heat, then scatter the feta cheese over it, and last, finish it off with a drizzle of oil, a sprinkle of aleppo pepper, and a dusting of coriander leaves. As soon as possible, serve with slices of bread so that the juices that have been released may be absorbed by the sandwich.

Substitutions that are straightforward Could you take a little bit more heat than you normally would? There are two options available to you: you can either use regular chilli flakes or you can add a green chile that has been finely diced to the mixture of greens.
