I love Shashuka of all kinds! Long ago I posted a tomato-based non-traditional vegetable based shakshuka and I still love that recipe to this day! This green shakshuka is fantastic in a totally different way. It’s incredible how you can sauté pretty much any vegetable with a little liquid, crack an egg over it and it will be delicious. This shakshuka is no exception and, in collaboration with The Food Artist, I bring you our Green Shakshuka!
It’s chock full of kale, spinach, english peas, and tomatoes with gorgeous simmered eggs nestled in every possible nook! All made in one simple skillet. What’s not to love?!

- In a large 14” rimmed skillet, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, shallot and garlic and sauté about 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
