Greek Shakshuka with Feta and Sautéed Spinach with Almonds

• 30 ml extra virgin olive oil⇄
• 80 g onion⇄
• 15 g garlic⇄
• 3 g ground cumin⇄
• 3 g smoked paprika⇄

Heat olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat at approximately 160°C, add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened and translucent, then add minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.

💡 Keep the heat low when adding garlic to prevent bitterness, and let the spices bloom in the oil for deeper flavor.

• 400 g crushed tomatoes (canned)⇄
• 60 g roasted red peppers⇄
• 40 g Kalamata olives⇄
• 4 g salt⇄
• 2 g black pepper⇄

Add crushed tomatoes, diced roasted red peppers, sliced Kalamata olives, salt, and pepper to the skillet, stir to combine, and let simmer over low-medium heat at about 100°C for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces slightly with a glossy texture.

💡 The olives add a briny depth that makes this distinctly Mediterranean—taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

• 15 ml extra virgin olive oil⇄
• 400 g fresh spinach⇄
• 10 g garlic⇄
• 30 g sliced almonds⇄
• 2 g salt⇄
• 10 ml lemon juice⇄

Heat olive oil in a separate large pan over medium heat at 160°C, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add fresh spinach in batches, stirring for 3-4 minutes until wilted and bright green; toss in sliced almonds and a splash of lemon juice, cooking for 1 more minute until almonds are lightly toasted.

💡 Add spinach in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, ensuring even wilting without steaming.

• 4 count large eggs⇄
• 80 g feta cheese⇄
• 10 g fresh flat-leaf parsley⇄
• 10 ml extra virgin olive oil⇄

Make 4 wells in the simmering sauce using the back of a spoon, crack one egg into each well, crumble feta cheese over the entire surface, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook over low heat at about 90°C for 6-8 minutes until the egg whites are set and opaque but yolks remain runny; garnish with chopped parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.

💡 Cover tightly to trap steam, which cooks the egg tops evenly without needing to flip them.
