About This Recipe

Indulge in an exquisite keto-friendly brunch experience with this authentic Indian-inspired recipe, featuring a spicy shakshuka, perfectly paired with cauliflower rice and a refreshing mint chutney.

Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern and North African dish, often enjoyed during breakfast or brunch. Cauliflower rice is a low-carb substitute for rice or other grains.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 cups cauliflower rice, cooked
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup almonds, sliced
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent. Add garlic, ginger, and spices. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in ground chicken and cook until browned.

  3. 3

    Add diced tomatoes, bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Make indentations in the sauce and crack an egg into each one. Cover and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.

  5. 5

    In a separate bowl, mix together mint leaves, cilantro leaves, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

  6. 6

    To serve, divide cooked cauliflower rice among 6 plates. Top each with a serving of the spicy shakshuka. Drizzle with mint chutney and garnish with sliced almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

Chef's Notes

For a spicier dish, add more cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the shakshuka sauce.
