Indian Shakshuka
with chickpeas / cauliflower / naan
Shakshuka is a Middle-Eastern dish in which eggs are poached right inside a tomato-based sauce. It makes a great foundation for a variety of flavors and spices, so we couldn't resist making this Indian-inspired version that is served with yogurt and naan. We last featured this meal in 2020.
Smarts: Want to add some greens? Fold in some baby spinach at the same time as the cauliflower.

Make
-
Heat a large saute pan (use one that has a lid) with oil over medium heat. Add ginger, garlic, and onions and saute until onions are starting to soften, ~3 minutes.
-
Add in spice mix and saute until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Add diced tomatoes (including liquid), cauliflower florets (no need to defrost first), and beans. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes to let cauliflower soften and some of the liquid to cook off. Taste and season with some salt and pepper.
-
Use the back of a spoon to create indentations in the shakshuka. Crack eggs directly into the indentations.
-
Lower heat to low-medium and cover pan with a lid. Cook until whites are set and yolks are done to your liking, ~5 minutes.
-
Toast naan.
-
Serve shakshuka with cilantro and yogurt on top and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy with naan.
