On it’s own this saucy Green Shakshuka is very mild but you can easily bump up the heat with extra harissa when serving or adding an extra pinch of chili flakes when sauteeing the aromatics. This recipe will feed a small crowd of four for brunch or dinner and can easily be doubled for larger groups. The recipe starts by toasting cumin seeds in Filippo Berio extra virgin olive oil and grinding them into a paste with a mortar and pestle. That paste is then blended with greens, jalapenos, stock, oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Seasoning the puree will make or break this dish, so don’t be afraid to use salt! Serve these saucey greens with warm toasted pita and enjoy!

Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F

In a small skillet over medium heat, toast cumin seeds in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Let cool; grind into a paste with a mortar and pestle.

Once boiling, assertively season with salt. Add kale and blanch until bright green, about 10 seconds. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water; let cool. Drain and squeeze out excess water and transfer to a blender. Add jalapeños, cumin seed paste, fresh oregano, ¼ cup of olive oil and ⅓ cup of vegetable stock to the blender. Puree until smooth and season with salt to taste.
