Start Your Day with this Kale Shakshuka Recipe

This breakfast recipe is perfect for those mornings when you want something a bit special and indulgent, that’s also packed with protein and vitamins that’ll give you lots of energy for the day. It’s a twist on the Middle Eastern dish, Shakshuka, which is eggs that are poached in a rich red sauce. This interpretation—put together by Michael Zee in his book “Symmetry Breakfast”, which was born from his cult-loved Instagram account—replaces stewed tomatoes with herbs and greens like kale or spinach as well as a scoop of hummus for added richness. As Michael points out in his recipe, this is a convenient choice when you have greens you want to use up before they begin to turn. 

There are quite a few ingredients in this recipe but don’t be intimidated—it’s very easy to put together and, like any good breakfast dish, it lends itself to all kinds of improvisation! XXJKE
