Shakshuka ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 3 small or 2 large leeks. Halved lengthwise and washed thoroughly

  • 1 fennel bulb

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • Small bag of spinach, or one bunch

  • Handful of fresh soft herbs such as cilantro, dill, and / or parsley 

  • 1 teaspoon each of whole fennel seeds, whole cumin seeds, and whole coriander seeds 

  • 4 eggs 

  • Feta cheese for serving

RECIPE PREPARATION

  • In a small skillet, toast spices until fragrant over medium heat - about 2-3 minutes. Crush with mortar and pestle or use the bottom of a jar to gently crush on a cutting board. Set aside. 

  • Preheat large skillet over medium heat, and preheat oven to 350.

  • Remove stalks and fronds of fennel bulb and cut in half. Remove core and dice. Slice halved and washed leeks, and peel and mince garlic. 

  • Add butter, chopped vegetables, and crushed spices to skillet and saute, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 

  • Add spinach and stir to wilt. 

  • Create 4 wells in the veggies using the back of a spoon.

  • Carefully crack an egg into each well, then transfer to the oven. Bake, checking occasionally until whites are cooked through and yolks are still runny, about 8 minutes. 

  • Top with chopped herbs and crumbled feta cheese and serve with pita!
