Busy times!
Xmas is approaching; everybody & everything is in a rush; to-do lists fill rapidly w/ items, more items than manageable … So let’s have some quick & easy meal which we can devour at breakfast, for a low lunch or even for a weeknight dinner …
At once shakshuka came into my mind – tomatoes & eggs, maybe some more leftover vegetables … however, an idea started emerging to substitute spinach leaves for tomatoes – creating a green shakshuka!
No sooner thought than done!
What do we need?
It’s only:
- fresh spinach leaves
- feta (from sheep’ & goats’ milk)
- eggs
- some crème fraîche
- spring onions
- some freshly grated nutmeg
- some garlic.
Starting steps:
- Chop the spring onions.
- Crumble the feta.
- Clean & trim the spinach leaves.
- Mix feta & crème fraîche.
- Grate some nutmeg on top.
Then start frying:
- Olive oil, spring onions & pressed garlic should be fried for about 5 min – slowly, softly.
- Then add the spinach leaves which will collapse rather soon.
- Add the feta mess.
- All should be fried for about another 5 min.
Make some holes w/ a spoon & add the eggs.
Close the lid & let it fry for about 10 min.
Now we get shakshuka – designed to be green, but more white!
If you like your egg yolks more runny just do less than 10 min!
You may also double the amount of spinach if you are a spinach lover!
For the record:
I had 5 eggs in my green shakshuka because I wanted a part of the mess for a light lunch …
The rest waited for dinner – 2 eggs per person are fine … & made a perfect sandwich for each of us i. e. my better half & me.
Enjoy!
