Friend of Dr. Yum, Rachel, spent some time in Israel and introduced us to one of her favorite dishes. Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern tomato stew with eggs. Here at the Doctor Yum Project, we believe that eggs are a great vehicle for vegetables so we added spinach to a basic Shakshuka recipe. Any greens like kale, tatsoi, or swiss chard would be delicious too! This fresh and hearty dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Pair it with fruit or green salad and some crusty bread for an amazing meal.
BABYFOOD OPTION:
This an easy recipe to blend for a new eater. Grab a bit of the stewed veggies before adding the eggs and blend to that "just right" consistency for your baby. As babies advance texture you may want to blend less. Be mindful of the crushed red pepper and make sure that there's not too much heat in the taste. If you are introducing eggs you can even add some of the bits of egg before you blend. There are a lot of great tastes in this dish for your baby to learn!
