Green Shakshuka (Recipe)

Ingredients

2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil (use laconiko EVOO)
1 yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper chopped
10 oz. Spinach (baby spinach) or 4 cups of kale
2 garlic cloves minced
¼ cup cilantro chopped
2 tablespoons dill chopped
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup water
6 eggs
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese for serving

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, 10 to 12 minutes.

2. Add the garlic, cilantro and dill. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer.

3. Add the spinach, season with cumin, salt and pepper, and cook until they soften, but don’t wilt, about 2-4 minutes. Add the water and stir to combine.

4. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, create 6 small nests between the vegetables. Gently crack the eggs into nests.

5. Cover the pan with a fitted lid. Continue cooking the shakshuka until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes.
