Green Shakshuka Recipe
When you’re feeling like a big, green breakfast, this Green Shakshuka Recipe is perfect. It’s full of nutrient dense green vegetables and nourishing eggs.
A traditional Shakshuka usually has tomatoes, but being high in carbs a green shakshuka is a lower carb alternative, which makes a delicious big breakfast.
Green Shakshuka Variations
You can mix and match green ingredients to create your own tailor made Shakshuka. Here are some ideas for you:
- Cabbage
- Brussels Sprouts
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Spinach
- Zucchini
- Green Beans
- Lettuce
- Snow Peas
- Bok Choy
- Asparagus
You could also enjoy green peppers or leeks, in smaller quantities as they are higher in carbs than the above listed vegetables.
I went for Zucchini and spinach in this instance and chose to also include garlic and feta for flavour. Feel free to mix and match ingredients and omit the feta if you’d prefer a dairy free breakfast. Or, you could swap the Feta for Parmesan or another cheese option.
See – the options are endless! I haven’t specified exact quantities because it depends how many people you’re making your shakshuka for and how hungry they are. In my case, I used 1 zucchini, 3 garlic cloves, 2 handfuls of spinach and 5 eggs for myself and my Husband for the perfect Keto Breakfast.
