Zucchini Lentil Shakshuka

  • Author: Ann

Ingredients

Scale

For the sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, peeled & chopped
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 small zucchini (about 8 inches), chopped
  • 1 1/22 cups (1 pint) cilantro almond salsa (recipe here) – or your favorite salsa
  • 1/2 cup cooked lentils
  • 12 cups kale or spinach, chopped

To finish:

  • 34 eggs
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper
  • Fresh cilantro leaves and/or ripe avocado slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Over medium heat, add the oil to a medium saute pan or saucepan. Add the onions and saute until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
  3. Stir in the zucchini and saute for several minutes until the zucchini is bright green and starting to get tender. Stir in the salsa and lentils cook for 5 – 10 minutes or until the mixture starts to create a nice sauce. Stir in the kale (or spinach) just until the greens wilt.
  4. Make wells into the sauce and crack eggs into each “hole”. Sprinkle the eggs with salt & pepper. Cover and cook for 5 – 10 minutes or until the egg whites are completely cooked and the yolks are done to your liking.
  5. Serve garnishes with fresh cilantro and/or avocado. Have some pitas or Naan hot and ready to soak up the good sauces.
