Recipe : Green Shakshuka

A twist on Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a Middle East/North African dish which is traditionally eaten for breakfast. But we have no rules in this house, so we ate it for lunch. This serves two for lunch or one hungry Mr Foodie. Its Vegetarian and can be made vegan friendly as well – maybe add tofu or vegan cheese?

Usually there is a lot more tomato in Shakshuka, but this is different. Some beans and greenery make it a belly filler with just a hint of tomato.

Ingredients

Bunch of Asparagus
two handfuls of spinach
1 tin of mixed beans
olive oil
butter
1 leek, sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced.
Cherry tomatoes
1-2 tsp cumin seeds (depending on your taste)

Method

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil.
Add the asparagus and cook for 30 seconds.

Heat olive oil and a knob of butter in a large frying pan.
Cook the leeks and garlic until soft
