It calls for Shabazi spice, which is based on the classic Yemenite hot sauce and can be used on poultry, fish, and rice; this vibrant green blend is available at large grocery stores and online. Serve the shakshuka family style with crusty bread for dipping. Serves 4 WHIPPED FETA: 8 ounces sheep's milk feta ½ cup sour cream ½ cup Greek yogurt ¼ cup olive oil SHAKSHUKA: 2 tablespoons olive oil ½ cup sliced onions ½ cup sliced or diced green pepper 2 garlic cloves, minced ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon coriander seeds 1 cup destemmed, roughly chopped kale 1 cup spinach Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 cup heavy cream ¼ cup fresh peas (thawed frozen peas may be substituted) 4 large eggs Cilantro leaves, for garnish Shabazi spice, for dusting WHIPPED FETA: Combine feta, sour cream, and yogurt in the bowl of a food processor. Blend for 30 seconds to combine. While the processor is running, drizzle in olive oil until mixture is smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use. SHAKSHUKA: Heat oven to 375°F. Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers, cook for about 5 minutes or onions are soft and translucent. Stir in garlic, cumin, and coriander seeds. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. Add kale and spinach, season with salt and pepper, and cook until vegetables soften but don't wilt, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add cream and bring to a light simmer. Stir in peas. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, create four "nests" in vegetable-cream mixture. Gently crack eggs into nests. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes, until egg whites are set. TO SERVE: Spoon some whipped feta into center, garnish with cilantro leaves, and dust with Shabazi spice. 2 0 2 2 B L U E R I B B O N W I N N E R A F A V O R I T E C H E E S E O F M A S T E R C H E F S Wisconsin BRICK CHEESE (America's 1st washed rind cheese 1877) Plays well with others.
