Shakshuka, an Israeli Dish for any meal
If you have the right ingredients, this dish, is easy to prepare and very satisfying and healthy.
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 T ghee or avocado oil
2 medium yellow onions, chopped
3-4 peppers, (depending on how large) either all red or a mixture of red and yellow and orange, chopped
1 large can (28-32oz) chopped tomatoes or 6 fresh medium tomatoes chopped (about 4 cups)
1 T organic sugar (optional)
2 bay leaves
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/8 tsp red pepper, flakes or powder
1 tsp sweet paprika
salt and pepper to taste
3 T fresh chopped parsley
1/2 bunch kale or Swiss chard, chopped in larger pieces
8 eggs (I used 4 eggs, 2 for each of 2 small skillets and saved half the mixture for another meal)
Here's How:
Dry roast cumin seeds in large hot skillet for 2 minutes.
Add fat until hot and saute onions in same skillet for 5 minutes.
Add peppers and saute peppers and onions for 15-20 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients except greens and eggs and simmer for 30 minutes.
Divide mixture into individual small skillets, removing bay leaves and sprinkle with greens, and add 2 eggs in each skillet while mixture is still hot.
Cover and cook until white is done and yolk is still soft.
Serve right away with a nice salad and a crusty bread or chips.
