Preparation
Shakshuka is a breakfast dish from the middle-east, but many countries have a similar egg recipes because it it a great way to start the day with vegetables. It makes for a great brunch, but I also like to eat it as an easy dinner with some bread. This is a simplified version so you won't need an oven and because you are simply boiling your eggs, you are sure they come out perfectly.
- Begin by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water. Put the lid on the pot. Once the water starts to boil, let the eggs boil for another 4 minutes.
- Slice the garlic and chili pepper into small pieces.
- Prepare the leeks by slicing them once through the complete length, then slicing them into half moons. Wash the leeks and set them aside.
- Slice the zucchinis two times through the complete length, then cut them into cubes.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add the garlic and chili pepper and cook for one minute.
- Add the leeks and zucchinis to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
- While the leeks and zucchinis are cooking, wash and cut the spinach into smaller pieces, leaving them slightly larger for texture.
- Add the white wine and spices to the pan and cook for a few more minutes until some of the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the spinach to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Then, add the cream and continue cooking until everything is fully cooked and ready to eat.
- Slice the feta cheese into small pieces. Peel and halve the boiled eggs, then add both the feta and eggs to the pan.
- Decorate the dish with fresh herbs, such as dill, before serving.
