Ingredients

For the shakshuka:
  • 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil olive oil works too
  • 1/2 large red pepper sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons taco seasoning click to see the recipe i use
  • 1 14 ounces can diced tomatoes
  • 2/3 cup salsa of choice
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 large eggs
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 large avocado sliced
  • cilantro for garnish
  • sliced green onion for garnish
For the cauliflower rice:
  • 3 cups cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup cilantro minced
  • fresh lime juice to taste
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce begins to reduce, about 7-8 minutes.
  4. While the sauce simmers, place the cauliflower in a food processor and process until broken down and rice-like.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Divide the cauliflower rice between 2 bowls, followed by the shakshuka, and then the sliced avocado.
  8. Garnish with a little bit more cilantro and the green onion and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  9. DEVOUR!
