Low-Calorie North African Shakshuka with Whole Wheat Bread

Ingredients:

Tomatoes

Onion

Pasteurized eggs

Bell peppers

Button mushrooms

Cilantro

Garlic

Tomato paste (or ketchup)

Sweet paprika

Ground cumin

Black pepper

Sea salt

Steps:

1. Score the tomato skins with a cross, blanch them in boiling water, then peel and dice. Dice the onion and bell peppers, slice the mushrooms, and mince the garlic.

2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet. Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant. Add the diced bell peppers and mushrooms, cooking until softened.

3. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook until they release their juices. Mix in the tomato paste (or ketchup), sweet paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and sea salt to season.

4. Use a spoon to create two small wells in the mixture. Crack pasteurized eggs into the wells, cover the skillet, and let them poach for about 3 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking.

5. Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.

Serving Suggestion:

Pair this flavorful shakshuka with toasted whole-grain bread or crusty baguette for a satisfying and balanced meal.

Why It's Perfect for Weight Loss:

This dish is packed with nutrient-dense ingredients and natural flavors, making it both low in calories and rich in essential nutrients. The high protein content from the eggs helps maintain muscle mass and promotes satiety, while the fiber from the vegetables and whole-grain bread supports digestion and keeps you feeling full for longer. Plus, the spices not only enhance flavor but may also boost metabolism!
