Impossibly Easy Green Veggie Shakshuka

This recipe for Green Veggie Shakshuka and content below is sponsored content on behalf of Handsome Brook Farm Eggs.  All opinions are my own.

My rule of thumb?  Pretty much everything tastes better with an egg on it.  We’ve all seen the amazing burgers with yolk dripping down…. um, yum.  And, if you haven’t had a pizza loaded with crispy potatoes and fried eggs, you’re missing out.  So why not dress up the more hum drum of meals and give them the richness of a perfectly cooked egg. Not only lend a little sauciness, but also a protein boost!

That’s the origin of this modified shakshuka recipe.  A traditional shakshuka comes together when you poach eggs in a rich tomato sauec.  I’ve swapped out the ‘maters for a variety of superfood veggies – including spinach and shiitake mushrooms for a well-rounded, eat the rainbow meal. What makes it crave-worthy though? Yep, you guessed it, put an egg (or three) on it!

Eggs are a great source of protein and beneficial vitamins and nutrients — but all eggs are not created equal.   And it can be totally confusing to understand the different types of egg labeling.  Handsome Brook Farm Eggs are certified pasture raised eggs, meaning the hens are raised on grassy pastures with room to roam free, forage and get plenty of sunshine and fresh air.

Turns out, studies show that these eggs are more nutritious than any other type of eggs.  In fact, pasture raised eggs, like Handsome Brook Farm eggs, can contain 2 times more Omega 3’s, 38% more vitamin A and 23% vitamin E than conventionally raised eggs – making them a super nutritious option at any meal.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.    Add 1 Tb. olive oil and the red onions.  Cook until wilted and golden in parts.  Move to the outside of the skillet and add the carrots and garlic.  Increase the heat to medium high.  Continue to cook, until the carrots are tender.

Mix in the mushrooms.   Allow them to cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes, the stir and continue to cook until softened.

Add the heap of spinach, salt and pepper to the mix and cook until just wilted.

Handsome Brook Farm eggs are pasture raised and organic, which is not the case with all pasture raised eggs. Not to mention, you can definitely taste the difference between Handsome Brook and all other eggs.  Find Hands Brook Farm Eggs at your local grocer and online.
