Spinach Shakshuka

🥙 Middle Eastern

Tender spinach folded into a glossy, aromatic gravy — the kind of middle eastern home cooking that gets requested again and again. 32 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 12 min Cook 20 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Spinach300 g
  • Onion1 large, finely chopped
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Bell Pepper1
  • Tomato Sauce400 ml

  • Eggs4

  • Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the Olive Oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic plus the ground cumin, ground coriander and paprika; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

  4. 4

    Add the spinach, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

  5. 5

    Pour in the tahini, bring to a gentle bubble, then cover and simmer until the spinach is tender.

  6. 6

    Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
