Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the shakshuka ingredients

Heat the oven to 450° F.

  • Thinly slice the zucchini.
  • Thinly slice the mushrooms.
  • Rinse the chickpeas.

2

Make the shakshuka

In a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the zucchini and continue to cook until slightly softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and 1 cup [2 cups] water and bring to a boil. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to combine, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

3

Cook the shakshuka

With the back of a spoon, form 4 [8] wells in the sauce and crack an egg into each well; lightly season the eggs with salt and pepper and crumble the feta over the dish.

Cook in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the eggs have set to your desired doneness. Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Set aside to cool slightly. 

While the shakshuka cooks, toast the pita breads.

4

Toast the pita breads

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the pita breads, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven. Cut into wedges.

Serve

Serve the shakshuka family-style directly from the pan with the toasted pita on the side.
