Ingredients
Olive oil
2 red onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
200g cherry tomatoes
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
100g spinach
4 medium free-range eggs
Dressing ingredients
300g Alpro Plain No Sugars alternative to yogurt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 lemon, zest
Handful mint leaves, picked and roughly chopped
Handful flat leaf parsley, picked and roughly chopped
To serve
Sourdough, 4 medium slices
Sliced avocado
Handful flat leaf parsley, roughly chopped
Method
Heat a small amount of oil in a large shallow casserole dish with a lid over a medium heat. Add the red onions and fry for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic, whole cherry tomatoes and spices and fry for 2-3 minutes, continuously stirring.
Pour in the tinned tomatoes and 200ml water and simmer for 30 minutes on a medium heat. Stir the sauce occasionally and season with freshly ground black pepper. Once the sauce has reduced and thickened, stir in the spinach and leave it to wilt.
Once the spinach has wilted, make 4 wells in the sauce and crack in the eggs. Put the lid on the pan and leave the eggs to steam for 6-8 minutes until the egg whites have set and yolks are still runny.
Put all of the dressing ingredients into a bowl and mix together, season with freshly ground black pepper to taste and serve with the shakshuka, crusty sourdough and avocado. Scatter over a handful of chopped parsley.
