Ingredients
Lemon Dill Pesto
- ¼ ¼ cup parsley packed
- 2 2 tablespoons EACH: fresh dill, pine nuts, and olive oil
- 1 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh is best
- 1 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 1 pinch sea salt
- 1-2 1-2 tablespoons water as needed
Green Eggs and Ham Shakshuka
- 2 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1 medium onion minced
- 1 ½ 1 ½ cups small diced farmer's sausage
- 2 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- ½ ½ teaspoon EACH: ground cumin and sea salt
- 10 10 ounces baby spinach chopped
- 2 2 tablespoons water
- 4 4 large eggs
- Black pepper and pine nuts to serve
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the lemon dill pesto into a small blender or food processor and process until everything is finely minced, but not completely smooth. If you'd like a thinner pesto, add a little splash of water.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, until it's starting to brown. Add the sausage to the pan and cook through, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and sea salt and cook for 1 minute, until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the spinach to the pan and let it wilt, working in batches if needed. Stir well and season to taste with extra salt and pepper, if you'd like.
- Take the pan off the heat and mix the water into the spinach. Crack the 4 eggs on top of the spinach, put the pan back on the heat, and cover the pan. Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
- Sprinkle some black pepper over the eggs and serve with some pine nuts and the lemon dill pesto.
