Green Shakshuka
By Chef Orly Ziv, Author of Cook in Israel
This version of shakshuka can be found in Israeli cafes and restaurants for those who want a change of pace from regular shakshuka. The color is great, as is the taste - especially with fresh bread on the side.
Ingredients
● 3-4 Tbs. olive oil
●1 onion, diced
●3-4 cloves garlic, minced
●1-2 spring onions, sliced (optional)
●1 bunch Swiss chard, roughly chopped (leaves and stalks separated)
●1 bunch spinach leaves, roughly chopped
●2 Tbs. white wine
●½ cup heavy cream
●Salt & pepper
●Nutmeg
●4-6 eggs
●Feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Directions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion, garlic, spring onions and Swiss chard stalks until the onions are golden brown.
- Add the spinach and Swiss chard leaves. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the leaves lose half of their volume.
- Stir in the wine and cream and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
- Bring to a boil and lower the heat. Cook for 20 minutes on low heat.
- Break an egg into a small dish and gently slide into the pan. Repeat with remaining eggs, evenly spacing them within the pan.
- Cover and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft (or to your preference).
- Remove the lid, sprinkle with cheese, if using and serve with plenty of fresh bread.
Serves 4 to 6.
