Chicken and White Bean Shakshuka
One pan "eggs in purgatory/shakshuka" creation, with additions. Eggs in purgatory is a fiery, spicy dish that originates from Southern Italy. Eggs are poached in a thick, slow simmered tomato sauce loaded with Italian seasonings, and red pepper flakes for heat. Shakshuka is a North African and Middle Eastern dish consisting of poached eggs in a spicy tomato sauce. To the base of tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers, and spices like paprika, cumin, and chili make the tomatoes anything but boring. Sounds so similar right? I also wanted to add a ton of protein and keep this dish gluten free, and not too spicy, while infusing a ton of layered seasonings and flavor. While chicken isn't traditionally used in either dish, I gave myself the challenge of finding a new way to reinvent breakfast that didn't include your traditional bacon, sausage or ham. This is what I dreamed up and couldn't wait to try. The best part is it can be served any time of day! Tools...
