Ingredients

2 Persons

For the green shakshuka:

1 clove

garlic
10 g

mint, fresh
15 g

parsley, fresh
0.5

onion
1

green bell pepper
30 g

leek
400 g

spinach
200 g

peas, frozen
1

lemon, juiced
4

eggs
1 tsp

Coconut oil
1 tsp

cumin

You’ll also need:

2 slices

Vegan protein bread
optional toppings

fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, feta, fresh mint leaves

Preparation

1

Prepare the Vegan Protein Bread according to the directions on the package.
2

Chop the garlic, mint, and parsley finely. Dice the onion, pepper, and leek.
3

Heat the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat.
4

Put the onions into the pan and saute until transparent. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds or so, until fragrant. Add the pepper and leek and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Then add the spices to the pan and stir well.
5

Add the spinach, peas, parsley, and mint. As soon as the spinach starts to wilt, add the lemon juice to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6

Press four indentations into the spinach-pea base. One by one, crack each egg carefully into each of the indentations. Season the eggs with a bit of salt and pepper. Let the pan simmer for about 10 minutes. The egg whites should be solid, and the yolks as hard as you prefer when you eat them.
7

Top with fresh herbs, salt, pepper, chili flakes, and feta. Serve with the Vegan Protein Bread.
