Turmeric-Spiced Shakshuka With Delicata Squash

Serves 4
Time 45 min
Shakshuka, a North African dish of eggs poached in tomato sauce, is popular throughout the Middle East and elsewhere, and for good reason: It makes a great breakfast or brunch ... or lunch … or dinner. Our take on the dish includes delicata squash, a variety with a particularly thin, tender skin that doesn’t require peeling before roasting. You can also use a small acorn squash.
Ingredients
  • 1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
  • 3 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced (1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 (15.5-ounce) can 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Diced Fire-Roasted Tomatoes
  • 4 large cage-free eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro leaves
  • Ground black pepper
  • Flaky sea salt (like Maldon)

Method

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Scoop out squash seeds with a spoon and discard. Cut squash into ½-inch-thick slices. In large bowl, toss squash with ¼ teaspoon fine salt and 1 teaspoon oil. Place squash on the prepared pan in a single layer. Roast until tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a medium (9-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in garlic, turmeric, cumin and pepper flakes, and cook for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and remaining ½ teaspoon fine salt. Bring to boil, adjust heat and simmer 5 minutes.

After removing squash from the oven, nestle slices into the tomato mixture. Make four indentations in the tomato mixture with the back of a spoon and gently crack an egg into each indentation.

Place skillet in oven and bake just until eggs are set, 7 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley, flaky sea salt and black pepper to serve.
