Description

Imagine a vibrant and flavorful dish that awakens your senses with each bite. This inventive take on the traditional shakshuka introduces the creamy richness of avocado, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes. It’s a delightful way to start your day or a satisfying option for a leisurely brunch.

The base of this dish is a medley of fresh, colorful vegetables. Tender spinach and mild courgettes are gently cooked until softened, forming a bed of wholesome goodness. The bright zest of lemon and the delicate aroma of dill weave through the vegetables, adding layers of complexity to the flavor profile.

This verdant mixture provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness that follows. Nestled within this vibrant garden of vegetables are the stars of the show: perfectly poached eggs and chunks of ripe avocado. The creamy avocado lends a smooth, buttery texture that contrasts beautifully with the slightly tangy vegetable base.

The eggs, cooked to your preference, offer a velvety yolk that mingles delightfully with the other components of the dish, enriching every mouthful. A sprinkle of salty feta cheese adds a burst of tangy flavor, enhancing the overall taste experience. The feta crumbles melt slightly into the warm dish, complementing the other ingredients.

A generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil provides a final touch of richness and ties all the flavors together, creating a cohesive and memorable culinary experience. For those seeking a variation, consider using grilled halloumi cheese in place of feta. Its salty, firm texture offers a delightful alternative.

And for a different presentation, serving the shakshuka in avocado halves creates a visually appealing and naturally portioned dish, perfect for individual servings. Whether enjoyed as a weekend treat or a simple weekday meal, this shakshuka variation is sure to impress with its fresh, vibrant flavors and satisfying textures.

Instructions

    1.
    Slice the avocado in half, remove the stone, and scoop out the flesh. Slice each half again lengthwise to create four pieces with cavities for the eggs. Set aside.
    2.
    Grate the zucchini, garlic, and lemon zest. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the zucchini, garlic, and lemon zest to the pan. Sauté for a couple of minutes until tender.
    3.
    Thinly slice the scallions. Add the scallions and spinach to the pan. Cover and let it wilt for a few minutes.
    4.
    Add the lemon juice, butter, and crème fraiche (if using) to the pan. Stir into the zucchini and spinach mixture.
    5.
    Carefully place the avocado quarters over the spinach mixture. Crack the eggs into the hollows. Cover and let the steam gently cook the eggs.
    6.
    Season the shakshukado to taste. Roughly chop the dill. Crumble the feta and sprinkle the dill over the eggs. Add the final tablespoon of good quality olive oil over the top before serving.
