Green shakshuka is a delightful twist on the traditional shakshuka featuring vibrant green vegetables instead of the usual tomato base. Here’s a detailed advanced-level recipe for making green shakshuka
Green shakshuka, like its traditional counterpart, has roots in the Middle East and North Africa. The classic shakshuka, which means “all mixed up” in Arabic, typically features eggs poached in a spicy tomato and pepper sauce. This dish is believed to have originated in either Yemen or Tunisia and was brought to Israel by Jewish immigrants from North Africa in the 1950s and 1960s.
The green version of shakshuka is a modern twist that swaps the tomato base for a variety of green vegetables such as spinach, kale, zucchini, and herbs. This variation has gained popularity for its fresh, vibrant flavors and nutritional benefits. The concept of green shakshuka likely evolved as chefs and home cooks experimented with different ingredients to create new and exciting versions of the traditional dish.
Green shakshuka has become a staple in many Israeli and Mediterranean-inspired restaurants around the world, celebrated for its versatility and healthfulness. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, much like the original shakshuka
