This is not your traditional type of shakshuka. My version from Mediterranean Diet Meal Prep Cookbook is less saucy and more textural with veggies and chickpeas to keep you fuller longer. You’ll definitely make a dent in your daily need of veggies at breakfast. Serve with whole wheat pita on the side if desired.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly chopped
½ cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (14.5-ounce) can low-sodium or no salt addded diced tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium chickpeas, drained and rinsed (draining & rinsing can reduce the sodium content up to 30%!)
⅔ cup water
5 eggs
Storage: Store covered containers in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tip: Remember the eggs will continue to cook when reheated. Keep that in mind when deciding when to remove shakshuka from the oven.
