As we all ease back into this shorter holiday week, I’ve got another simple weeknight dinner recipe for you all today! This vegan shakshuka can be whipped up in one skillet from a can of tomatoes, spinach, a package of silken tofu, and a few spices. Shakshuka was actually a recipe that Will made for me early on in our relationship that impressed me. (I had no idea then how simple it is to make!) Typically, this dish is served with fried eggs but I wanted to put a vegan spin on it. Luckily, silken tofu is a great substitute.
Serve this up with a few pieces of pita or naan to soak up all the delicious tomato sauce. This vegan shakshuka works well as either a breakfast or dinner dish! (Or any meal if you ask me.)
