Shakshuka with Spicy Yogurt

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 28 oz. can of whole, peeled tomatoes in juices
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta (for topping)
  • Chopped cilantro, dill, and/or mint (for topping)
  • Pine nuts (for topping)
  • Sliced avocado (for topping)
  • Hot sauce (for serving)
  • Sliced and buttered baguette (for serving)

Spicy Yogurt (Optional on the Side)

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp (my favorite brand is from Trader Joe's) or sambal oelek (can find in the international isle of most grocery stores)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Add olive oil to a large, oven-safe pan and turn heat to medium-high. Once hot, add chopped white onion and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • While the onion is cooking a bit, slice the baguette and add butter inside each piece. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Once onion is fragrant, add cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to the pan and stir. Add the full can of tomatoes and mush/loosely chop up the whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon to release their juices. Stir and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for 10 minutes or until tomato juices have thickened.
  • Stir in the spinach until wilted.
  • Create a little "well" inside the tomato juices and crack an egg into it. Do this 3 total times for each of the eggs.
  • Place the oven-safe pan in the oven to cook the eggs a little bit, for 5-7 minutes. Place the baking sheet with the baguette in the oven at the same time.
  • Once the egg whites are no longer transparent and set, take the pan out of the oven and top with crumbled feta, chopped herbs, pine nuts and sliced avocado.
  • Make the yogurt by mixing in the chili crisp or sambal oelek.
  • Serve the shakshuka with the grilled bread, hot sauce, and spicy yogurt.
