Green Shakshuka with Spinach, Chard & Feta

(1)

The inspiration for this green shakshuka recipe comes from HaBasta, a popular restaurant on the edge of Carmel Market in Tel Aviv, where the shakshuka is packed with green chard and spinach and a little hot pepper provides just a touch of spice. Serve with pita or crusty bread to sop up the sauce for a quick dinner or for brunch.

Ingredients

  • cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 12 ounces chard, stemmed and chopped

  • 12 ounces mature spinach, stemmed and chopped

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 1 small jalapeño or serrano pepper, thinly sliced

  • 2 medium cloves garlic, very thinly sliced

  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ½ cup low-sodium no-chicken or chicken broth

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 large eggs

  • ½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent but not browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Add chard and spinach, a few handfuls at a time, and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add wine, jalapeño (or serrano), garlic, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the wine is absorbed and the garlic softens, 2 to 4 minutes. Add broth and butter; cook, stirring, until the butter is melted and some of the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Crack eggs over the vegetables. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the whites are set, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese; cover and let stand for 2 minutes before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
