Ingredients
- 200g baby new potatoes, quartered
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium courgette, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1½ tbsp Taste the Difference Green Harissa Paste
- 100g baby spinach
- 100g frozen peas
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- small handful chopped dill
Step by step
- Cook the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes or until just tender, then drain well.
- Meanwhile, heat half the oil in an ovenproof frying pan. Add the courgette with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and harissa and cook for 1 minute more, stirring. Add the spinach and peas and stir for 2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the peas are warm. Scrape the mixture into a bowl.
- Heat the remaining ½ tablespoon of oil in the same pan then add the potatoes. Fry over a high heat with a pinch of sea salt for 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Preheat the grill to medium. Return the greens to the pan, stirring to combine with the potatoes.
- Create four indents in the mixture and crack an egg into each. Grill for 4-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks runny.
-
Serve the shakshuka scattered with spring onions and chopped dill.Waste notGreen harissa paste is less spicy and more fragrant than the regular red type. Use it as a marinade for chicken or fish, as an instant rub for lamb, or mixed into mayo or houmous for a zingy condiment.
