Ingredients
For the shakshuka:
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil olive oil works too
- 1/2 red bell pepper sliced, large
- 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning click to see the recipe i use
- 1 14 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 2/3 cup salsa of choice
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 egg large
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 avocado sliced, large
- cilantro for garnish
- green onion for garnish, sliced
For the cauliflower rice:
- 3 cups cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 1/2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1/3 cup cilantro minced
- lime juice to taste, fresh
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil up in a large, high-sided skillet on medium/high heat. Add in the sliced red pepper and cook until it begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the taco seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add in the can of diced tomatoes, the salsa and the tomato paste. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce begins to reduce, about 7-8 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, place the cauliflower in a food processor and process until broken down and rice-like.
- Heat the additional oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat, and cook the cauliflower until lightly golden brown, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, transfer to a boil and stir in the cilantro. Season with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.
- Once the sauce has reduced, crack the 4 eggs into the skillet, leaving room in between them. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking - I did about 4 minutes for runny yolks.
- Divide the cauliflower rice between 2 bowls, followed by the shakshuka, and then the sliced avocado.
- Garnish with a little bit more cilantro and the green onion and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- DEVOUR!
