Directions

10 mins to prep

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of water to the boil and add a solid palmful of salt.

  2. Step 2

    Take the leaves off from the hard stems and wash. Blanch for 15 seconds in the boiling water, remove and place in a bowl. Once the spinach has cooled slightly try to remove as much liquid as you can. Place on a chopping board and roughly chop.

  3. Step 3

    Place the tofu in the reserved salted water and cook for 3 minutes on a medium heat. Gently remove and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In the meantime, add the oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the onion and fry until translucent, approx. 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add the ginger, garlic, coriander powder and cumin seeds and fry for another minute.

  6. Step 6

    Add the vegetable stock and the spinach and stir everything together seasoning along the way.

  7. Step 7

    Once the mixture has reduced and thickened, take off the heat. Dice the tofu and place the spinach mixture.

  8. Step 8

    Serve the shakshuka and top with vegan sour cream, coriander and serve with slices of bread.
