Green Shakshuka with Leek, Zucchini, Kale and Feta

After trying several recipes, I found the perfect combination of vegetables in this Green Shakshuka recipe with leeks, zucchini, kale and spinach which gives a creamy texture, a good amount of spice and harmonizes wonderfully with the runny egg yolk and feta cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion (thinly sliced)
  • 1 leek (sliced into rings)
  • 1 zucchini (cut into small cubes)
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach
  • 2 cups kale
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 block feta cheese (crumbled (150 g))
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime
  • Fresh herbs (coriander, parsley or baby greens)

Instructions

  1. 1

    --- Sauté the vegetables. ---

  2. 2

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Sauté thinly sliced onions and leeks for about 5 minutes until they get all soft and cozy.

  3. 3

    Add small cubes of zucchini, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and red pepper flakes. Let sauté for a good 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    --- Add greens. ---

  5. 5

    Add the chopped kale to the pan and sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in spinach, half of the crumbled feta, and frozen peas. Sauté for an extra 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    --- Cook the eggs. ---

  7. 7

    Make little nests with the back of a spoon in the pan and crack in the eggs. Let them cook for 7-10 minutes on medium-low heat until the egg whites are cooked through.

  8. 8

    For a runny egg, stop cooking after 7 minutes and serve immediately, as the egg will continue to set in the pan. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook them longer.

  9. 9

    --- Serve. ---

  10. 10

    Garnish with the remaining feta, fresh herbs such as coriander or parsley and perhaps even microgreens. Add a squeeze of lime juice if you like. Serve with pita bread or farmhouse bread.
