    A hearty and smoky vegetarian shakshuka recipe loaded with sauteed kale, mushrooms and peppers. The tomato is seasoned with deep spices of cumin and paprika and once the dish is just done cooking, everything is topped with creamy feta and lots of fresh herbs.

    Vegetable Shakshuka with Feta

    If you love a hearty vegetarian breakfast dish, you will love this vegetable shakshuka. Full of sauteed kale, peppers and mushrooms and of course, highly customizable. I have an idea for a “ratatouille shakshuka” using sliced zucchini and eggplant. How good does that sound?

    The shakshuka base is smoky and condensed and the tomatoes are sweet and and just enough cumin to bring a bit of warmth. Then top the finished dish with roughly crumbled feta and let the warmth of the shakshuka slowly melt the cheese. And don’t forget a good amount of crusty bread to sop up the decadent sauce too.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 2 teaspoons Olive oil for drizzling
    • 1 small shallot chopped
    • 1 fresno or serrano pepper seeds removed and finely chopped
    • 1 red bell pepper seeds removed and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
    • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
    • 2 cups chopped kale or sub spinach
    • 2 garlic cloves chopped finely
    • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 14.5 ounce can of whole tomatoes or sub crushed tomatoes
    • 4 whole eggs
    • 1/2 cup cubed feta cheese
    • Fresh parsley stems removed and chopped
    • Fresh cilantro stems removed and chopped
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Toasted bread
    • 2 tablespoons Everything spice for bread

    Instructions
     

    • Place a medium sized skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add chopped shallot, fresno and bell pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes, until vegetables just soften.
    • Add sliced mushrooms and continue sauteing for 3-4 minutes until mushrooms are slightly caramelized. Add chopped kale and garlic and saute until kale wilts. Season vegetables with salt.
    • Stir in tomato paste and spices and saute for another 30 seconds. Pour in tomatoes and if using whole canned tomatoes, roughly break them up and squeeze them with youre hands. Give everything one more good stir.
    • Use the back of a spoon to make four wells into the sauce. Crack one egg into each well, leaving the yolk exposed and bring temperature down to a constant simmer.
    • Cook eggs for 5-7 minutes or until desired doneness. You may need to cover the pan with a lid to help cook the tops of the eggs moe evenly.
    • Once done, immediately top with feta cheese while it's still hot. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs and serve with toasted bread topped with everything spice.

    Notes

    Shakshuka is highly customizable, so feel free to use any leafy vegetables. 
    You could also cook this in the oven for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, but the yolks may not keep their yellow color.

      It’s too funny how Shakshuka has risen in popularity so quickly! Definitely for a good reason, since it’s sooo tasty and healthful. I’m OBSESSED with Pantry to Pan’s Shakshuka starter! Seriously, I could make it every single week! Loving your take with kale and feta – soooo yummy!

      I tried shakshuka while I was living in NY. So, I decided to try this recipe. It was really delicious. The eggs, with feta cheese and all the herbs tasted heavenly. I highly recommend it.

      Hello there! This looks wonderful, and I had a question. The last ingredient is “2 tablespoons Everything spice for bread”. I have tried a search of your website and a Google search but did not come up with a match. Can you provide more info on what that is?

      Thank you for all your great recipes!

      All the best,
      Kit

        Hi Kit! Everything bagel spice is a blend that is sesame seeds, onion powder, garlic powder, poppy seeds and salt and if you near a Trader Joes or Whole Foods, you will probably find something along the lines of “everything bagel spice” or something like that. I do have a blend I’ve used for another recipe on my site…try this:
        1 Tb poppy seeds
        1 Tb toasted sesame seeds
        1 Tb dried garlic
        1 Tb dried onion
        2 tsp coarse salt
        Few grinds of coarse black pepper
