My go-to shakshuka with spinach recipe

Ever since I got a Le Creuset pot for christmas I cannot help myself and I cook with it almost every day. I had never imagined my cooking would be drastically better (in terms of time and also flavor) with it. I should have got myself one sooner! But enough talk about Le Creuset and more talk about the food. Today I wanted to share a recipe that well, I cook quite often. It’s something I love making because it has tons of veggies, it’s quite healthy and it’s a fail-proof recipe. That recipe is my go-to shakshuka with spinach recipe!

Ingredients to make this shakshuka with spinach recipe

So a shakshuka is basically a mix of onion, red bell pepper & tomatoes and then the rest is a bit up to you. I usually add some “green” veggie to my shakshuka to make it a bit more colorful and to follow the usual “eat the rainbow” thing. So, the full list of ingredients:

1. Veggies: Onion, garlic, red bell pepper, spinach.
2. Sauce: crushed tomatoes & tomato sauce.
3. Seasoning: Basil, fines herbes, salt & pepper with a touch of smoked paprika for some extra flavor.
4. Toppings: eggs & feta.

If you want to make a vegan version of this shakshuka with spinach, I’d suggest swapping the eggs for some other protein such as soft tofu with turmeric (to give it a yellow color), or some chickpeas. The feta I know there are many vegan alternatives for vegan feta so you could try that or use some tofu or vegan cheese.

Other alternatives to this shakshuka:

• Green veg: Kale, broccoli, swiss chard, cabbage.
• Toppings: Mozarella works really good as well. Bacon or pancetta work wonderfully as well if you want a bit more of a smokey flavor. I have never tried adding any sort of fish to a shakshuka but I have seen it happen, more in a “shakshuka style” (For example, this baked fish, shakshuka style recipe by the Feed Feed).
