Green shakshuka

Treat yourself to a shakshuka with a difference. Mix up your favourite greens, eggs and flatbreads to serve with this healthy weekend breakfast

3 tbsp olive oil
2 leeks, washed and sliced
200g bag baby spinach
250g frozen peas
2 fat garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp cumin seeds
small pack parsley, roughly chopped
small pack coriander, roughly chopped
small pack mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped, reserving a few leaves to garnish
8 medium eggs
150g pot natural yogurt
1 tbsp harissa
flatbread or crusty sourdough, to serve

Heat the oil in a wide, shallow frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks with a pinch of salt and cook for 4 mins until softened. Add handfuls of spinach to the pan, stirring until wilted.
Stir in the peas, garlic, cumin, herbs and some seasoning. Cook for a few mins until it smells fragrant, then create four gaps and crack two eggs into each. Cover and cook for 10 mins or until the whites are set but the yolks are runny – they will carry on cooking slightly as you take them to the table.
Season the eggs with flaky sea salt, dollop spoonfuls of the yogurt interspersed with the harissa, and scatter over a few mint leaves. Serve with a pile of flatbread for scooping.
