Quick & Easy Kale Shakshuka

This is shakshuka the way it should be — fast, unfussy, and on the table in 10 minutes. Wilted kale, a ripe tomato, garlic, and one egg come together in a single skillet for a breakfast (or lunch) that's as satisfying as it is simple. Dairy-free, gluten-free, and somewhere between $2 and $4 a serving. Serve it straight from the pan, or pile it onto toast with a smear of mayo and a hit of harissa. Completely optional, completely worth it.

Ingredients

  • 2-4 kale leaves, spine removed
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • Olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice of your favorite bread, toasted (optional)
  • mayonnaise (optional)
  • Harissa or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • Wash the kale and stack the leaves in a pile. Chop them finely. Put a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the kale and steam for 3 minutes.
  • Dice the tomato and add it to the skillet. Crush the garlic straight into the skillet. Splash about 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with the paprika, salt and pepper and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Using a wooden spoon, gather the ingredients together in the skillet to make a little island and break the egg over it. Sprinkle salt and cover the skillet (if you don’t have a lid, use a baking sheet or tray). Lower the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the egg white is cooked but the yolk is still runny.
  • Spread mayonnaise and harissa/hot sauce on the toasted bread and put the shakshuka over. You can garnish with parsley or another herb.
