In this traditional Middle Eastern dish, a thick, chunky tomato and eggplant sauce serves as a bed for perfectly-cooked eggs. In winter, you can omit the eggplant, and make shakshuka on a budget with one can of tomatoes. The quantities mentioned here will make shakshuka out of four eggs, with plenty of sauce to mop up. The sauce can be scaled up by half to make 6-7 eggs - all you need is just a large enough pan. Double the sauce, and you can easily make 10 eggs in a very large pan.

The best eggplant shakshuka

onion

eggplant

TBs oil

tomatoes

garlic

salt (or more, to taste)

TB paprika

TB cumin

chili

tsp sugar

lemon

parsley (to taste)

eggs

Chop onions finely. Dice eggplant and tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Place eggplant in a colander, and salt it to draw liquids out. Mince garlic finely. If using a fresh jalapeno pepper, chop 1/2 a pepper finely.

Heat a large pan to medium heat - the pan would preferably be either non-stick, or enamel-coated (trust me, you want something that you&#039;re not going to have to scrape eggs and sauce from). When pan is hot, add one TB of vegetable oil, and onion. Saute onion on medium heat for 5 minutes, then lower heat to medium-low and cook for another 5.

When onions have turned golden, add 2 TBs of oil and eggplant cubes - but do not crowd them! It&#039;s better that you use less eggplant than crowding it, because it won&#039;t result in an even browning. Let eggplant brown for a few minutes, then when the eggplant has soaked up all the oil, add another TB of oil, and toss eggplant to coat. Continue browning eggplant for 10 minutes, turning pieces occasionally to ensure equal coverage, until all have coloured evenly.

Add tomatoes to pan. Let tomatoes draw water on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until they all break down into a chunky sauce (this can take anywhere between 15 and 25 minutes). Add chopped garlic cloves and spices.

Crack eggs into a bowl. Traditionally, eggs are simply poured into the shakshuka sauce, one egg per hole; but some people, myself included, prefer the eggs scrambled separately, and then mixed with a bit of sauce in their little nests. If you&#039;re unsure what you will prefer, try both methods.

With a wooden spoon, create holes in the sauce for the eggs. Pour eggs into holes, one egg per nest (or a bit of egg scramble per nest, if going the scrambled route). On medium heat, cover pan (this is important!), and let eggs cook between 8 to 10 minutes, testing for doneness after eight (you want the whites of the eggs to set and change from translucent, while the yolk should still be a little jiggly). Squeeze the juice of half a lemon on the shakshuka.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve immediately with a little bit of yogurt and crusty bread, to taste. Don&#039;t forget to sop up the sauce when you&#039;re done.

The world's best Israeli eggplant shakshuka

I'm trying to incorporate more protein into my lunches and this quick and easy ground bison takes under 10 minutes to cook up and provides you with easy protein on hand for lunches throughout the week. 

Quick and Easy Ground Bison for Meal Prep

avocado oil

Celtic Sea salt

Force of Nature ground bison ancestral blend, ground grass fed beef, turkey

garlic cloves,

pepper

lemon juice

coconut aminos

onions

sesame oil

Sprinkle of furikake

I have a full video below that shows you step by step how to make this bison and what I love to pair it with at the end. 

Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil plus 1 teaspoon Celtic Sea salt to a medium skillet set over medium heat.

Add the ground bison (or ground meat of choice) and sauté, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. When the meat is starting to brown in places, stir in the minced garlic and a few twists of freshly ground pepper, stir to combine.Cook until the meat is fully cooked and browned, roughly 4 to 5 minutes. (I like to break my ground meat up a fair amount so that there is more surface area to soak up the lemon and aminos.)

Add in the 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the green onions and stir well to combine.Turn the heat off to prevent the lemon juice and aminos from burning.

Use the bison right away or pack it up in airtight containers and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.

I love making a lunch bowl with this bison. I add some roasted sweet potatoes, sauteed broccolini, the bison and then top everything with some sesame seeds, drizzle of toasted sesame oil and some furikake. This bison pairs with everything.

I love topping my bison with some toasted sesame oil and furikake. So good!
