How is traditional shakshuka different than green shakshuka?
Traditional shakshuka typically consists of tomatoes, eggs, cumin, cayenne, paprika, garlic, bell peppers, and onions. The cultural dish originates from the Mediterranean cultures, and it is usually red in color served with bread or rice.
This green shakshuka recipe is different because we have used kale and mushrooms in place of the tomatoes and bell peppers! Both versions of shakshuka are delicious as they are filled with aromatic spices. We like to pair avocado slices with our shakshuka.
What To Serve With This Healthy Breakfast Recipe
While green shakshuka is delicious on its own, it is also great served over a bed of cauliflower rice! Not only is this shakshuka yummy with rice, but it tastes wonderful when gluten-free breads are dipped in it, too.
Avocado is also a great and healthy option to pair with this green shakshuka recipe. Just slice some avocado into thin slices, and dip the slices into the shakshuka!
