    Shashuka Eggs with Harissa

    Shashuka-Eggs

    Going on my second Whole30 ( Day 13), you notice a few things. Like you are more comfortable going into this challenge because you know you can do it. I still experienced the energy slump I got the last time I did this in Week1.

    The hardest part for me so far is eating more veggies. I am REALLY good about it at lunch and dinner. More than half my plate is filled with the colorful delicious bastards. But it’s breakfast once again where I struggle.

    That is why I am forever seeking new flavor combos, spices, or different techniques to incorporate veggies at breakfast. I usually just throw leftover grilled veggies in my omelets but that got old after 3-5 days of that in a row.

    And once again Instagram is where I found my inspo. One of my favorite Instagrammers shared she was using Mina Harissa sauce in one of her recipes and I was glued to my screen. The pop of color was what sealed the deal.

    I immediately ordered some of their Mild Harissa sauce along with some Whole30 compliant Sriracha sauce ( I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS for the latter) I digress.

     

    The harissa brings the zing to my eggs like nothing else does! So if you are a fan of hot sauce on your eggs then this recipe is for you!

    I decided to go with a dish called Shashuka eggs. It’s a one-skillet dish that is derived from North Africa and is traditionally served with challah or crusty bread.

    What’s also great about this dish is it looks all fancy, but it’s incredibly easy! The hardest part is letting the tomatoes sweat out ( 5 minutes) the rest of the sauce comes together quite quickly and before you know it someone is yelling at you to not eat the whole skillet and share some with the rest of us!

    Shashuka-Eggs

    There are tons of ways to make Shashuka, but since this was my first time experimenting I adapted from Bon Appetit.

      OMG I've been dying to try something like this because truthfully I'm not a huge fan of eggs but I really WANT to like them. I love tomato sauce so much that I feel like I'd love this! Gorgeous photos, Amanda!

        Thanks Liz!!! Eggs are a real struggle for me too... Oddly enough they make it to the blog more often than other dishes lol. The Harissa really brings the bite to this dish though!
