Best Spinach And Artichoke Shakshuka Recipes

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile pepper, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Add half of the spinach and cook, stirring, adding the rest of the spinach in a couple of batches as it wilts and there is room in the pan for more. Stir in the lemon juice. Once the spinach is all wilted but still bright green, stir in the artichoke hearts and cook for 1 minute more.
• Spread out the mixture evenly in the pan.
• Break one of the eggs into a small ramekin or bowl. Form a well in the mixture and transfer the egg into it. Repeat with the remaining three eggs, creating separate wells for them. Scatter the cheese around the surface. Cover and cook until the egg whites become opaque and the yolks are still slightly runny, about 4 minutes. Serve garnished with dill, seasoned with additional salt and pepper to taste, with the pita alongside.

SPINACH SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pan set over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeño and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, coriander, cinnamon, and salt, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes​.
• Add the spinach and lemon juice to the pan, turn the heat to low, cover, and cook, tossing occasionally with tongs, until the spinach is very soft, 7 to 10 minutes. (If the spinach does not fit all at once in the pan, add a little at a time, adding more as the spinach in the pan wilts.) Uncover and evenly spread the mixture across the bottom of the pan. Use the back of the spoon to make four to six shallow indentations​ in the surface of the greens mixture to hold the eggs while they cook.
• Break the eggs into small cups and gently slide them into the indentations. Raise the heat to medium, cover the pan , and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still a bit runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan​ from the heat. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and sprinkle with pepper, feta, and cilantro. Serve hot, directly from the pan.

SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, crushed red pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the Sauce and bring to a simmer. Turn the heat to low. Crack an egg into a small bowl, make a divot in the sauce, and add the egg. Repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them evenly around the skillet. Sprinkle the feta on top, avoiding the yolks so as not to break them.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are just set, 10 to 13 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it just turns golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Add salt and pepper to taste.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.
