Allergens

None

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa, uncooked
• 2 cups water
• Pinch of salt
• 4 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Crusty gluten
• free bread, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook the quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the uncooked quinoa, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed all the water. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
2. Prepare the chimichurri sauce: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and coriander. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing for 4 5 minutes or until softened. Add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute.
4. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3 4 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and released their juices.
5. Carefully crack each egg into the skillet, creating a well around each egg yolk. Cover and cook for 3 5 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are to your desired level of doneness.
6. To serve, place a generous scoop of cooked quinoa on each plate. Top with a portion of the chimichurri sauce, followed by the shakshuka eggs. Optionally, serve with crusty gluten free bread for dipping.
