Kale and Mushroom Shakshuka with fresh ingredients available fron The Bare Acre Farm Farm Shop

Serves 2 people

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 150g mushrooms, sliced
• 150g Bare Acre Farm tomatoes, chopped 
• Pinch of ground cumin
• Pinch smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 Bunch of Bare Acre Farm Cavolo Nero kale, roughly chopped (stems removed)
• 4 large eggs
• 100g feta cheese, crumbled
• Fresh parsley or coriander, chopped (for garnish)
• Crusty bread, to serve

Instructions:

1. Sauté the Vegetables:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet or pan over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 4 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Add the chopped Bare Acre tomatoes to the pan. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Let the mixture simmer for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the tomatoes have broken down.

3. Add the Kale:

   • Spread the roughly chopped kale evenly over the tomato and mushroom mixture.
   • Allow the kale to cook for about 2 minutes, just until it begins to wilt but is still vibrant green.

4. Add the Eggs:

   • Using a spoon, make four small indentations in the kale mixture. Crack an egg into each indentation.
   • Season the eggs lightly with salt and pepper.

5. Add Feta and Grill:

   • Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
   • Transfer the pan to the oven and place it under a preheated grill. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking and the feta is slightly golden.

6. Serve:

   • Remove the pan from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley or coriander.
   • Serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
