  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes

Cook for 1 2 minutes. c. Add diced tomatoes, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld. d. Gently crack eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly.

In a separate pan, cook zucchini noodles for 2 3 minutes or until slightly softened but still al dente. Season with salt and pepper. f. Toast slices of avocado on a griddle or in a toaster oven. g. Assemble the dish by placing two zucchini noodle portions on each plate, followed by two egg topped shakshuka spoonfuls. Top with avocado slices and a sprinkle of parsley and cilantro.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve a runny yolk, use fresh eggs and reduce cook time slightly.
