Preparation

• Ingredients:

  2 slices Vegan protein bread

  Prepare the Vegan Protein Bread according to the directions on the package.
• Ingredients:

  1 clove garlic, 10 g mint, 15 g parsley, 0.5  onion, 1  pepper, 0.5  leek

  Chop the garlic, mint, and parsley finely. Dice the onion, pepper, and leek.
• Ingredients:

  1 tsp Coconut oil

  Heat the coconut oil in a pan on medium heat.
• Ingredients:

  1 tsp cumin, 0.25 tsp nutmeg, 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper,   salt,   pepper

  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.
• Ingredients:

  400 g spinach, 200 g peas, 1  lemon, juiced

  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.

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

What is shakshuka?

Shakshuka is a meal that has its roots in Israel and North Africa, most often eaten as breakfast. But what is it, exactly? Shakshuka is a dish of eggs set into a spicy tomato sauce and cooked in its heat. Most often it's served with white bread or pita. Our recipe is for a green shakshuka that's much less common, but we've also got a recipe for the original version with tomato sauce.
