I had to share the recipe for this green shakshuka pretty quickly because some of you are really loving our original shakshuka recipe which you can see here. Updated - 4th March 2020.

Broccoli, Spinach, Tomato and Eggs cooked in frying pan

I must tell you though that even with this follow up recipe being pretty simple, i actually prefer this version. 

What is Shakshuka

Basically the best baked eggs in the world. I love them. I make several versions and one of them takes a long time but is totally worth it.

Another version is coming soon because basically I am obsessed.

Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern and North African dish traditionally served up for breakfast or lunch. It can be made entirely on the stove or finished in the oven. The eggs are baked or poached in a fragrant tomato sauce, usually with peppers, onion and spices like cumin and paprika, reflecting the Middle Eastern and North African roots of this dish. This version is made with green veg and is definitely not authentic.

Shakshuka does feel like a pretty substantial meal, and definitely one for sharing with a group.

Aaah leisurely mornings spent eating bread dipped in eggs that are sat on a bed of green veg is my idea of bliss. Just gonna grab a bib to catch the drool that is hanging from my chin currently.

Anyway to make it even more delicious i occasionally add a little bit of a chilli butter topping too. I generally like my food to set my ears on fire.

Brunch, Lunch or Dinner

Eggs are usually a breakfast or brunch thing but I am forever banging on about their versatility and suitability for all hours of the day. I will never not talk about this. EGGS ARE THE BEST. I really need to get a grip. 

How to make Green Shakshuka

Spring Onions and oil in pan

Heat oil and add spring onions. Cook till soft before adding cumin seeds, ginger/garlic.
