Ingredients
1tbsp vegetable oil
2 leeks, sliced
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 green chilli, chopped
2tsp cumin
2tsp ground coriander
1tsp paprika, plus extra to garnish
2tbsp tomato purée
2 green peppers, sliced
500g pack spring greens, chopped
1 low salt stock cube, dissolved in 300ml water
8 eggs, at room temperature
4 x slices rye bread, toasted
Method
1
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-low heat, then add the oil along with the leeks and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan with a lid and sweat the leeks for 5 mins, adding a splash of water if they start to catch on the pan.
2
Once the leeks are soft, turn up the heat to medium and remove the lid from the pan. Add the garlic, chilli, spices and tomato purée. Stir-fry for 1 min.
3
Add the green peppers and the chopped stalks of the spring greens (see cook’s tip) to the pan, along with a splash of water, and cook for 5–7 mins.
4
Add the chopped leaves from the spring greens to the pan along with the stock, some salt and black pepper, then combine everything well, allowing the greens to wilt down, for 1 min. Add the eggs to the pan – crack an egg into a jug, then make a dip in the shakshuka mixture and plop the egg in. Repeat for all the eggs. Replace the lid and simmer gently for 6 mins, or cooked as you like.
5
Scatter some extra paprika and black pepper over the top before serving. Bring the pan to the table and let everyone dig in with toasted rye bread.
