Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 3 Cups chopped kale
- 1 leek washed and sliced
- 1½ Cups frozen peas thawed
- 2 garlic cloves minced

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add garlic and cumin; sauté until fragrant.
- Add leeks together with peas and cook stirring frequently for about 4 minutes. Stir in kale, coriander, and mint leaves; season with some salt and pepper.
- Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes until kale is wilted. Reduce the heat to a low and stir in sour cream or yogurt.
- Mix well to coat the greens. Using the back of a spoon, make 4 dips in the mixture, then crack an egg into each dip.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan and cook on low heat until eggs are done to your liking.
- Once the eggs are done, garnish the shakshuka with remaining fresh herbs and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
- Veggies: add any of your favorite green veggies if you don't like kale and peas. Some great options can be spinach and zucchini.
- Allow veggies to cook through before adding the eggs
- Covering the pan/skillet will let the eggs cook through without burning the veggies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave when ready to eat.
