Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Trim, peel, and dice carrots into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop spinach. Zest and quarter lemon.
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, carrots, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until scallions begin to brown, 2-3 minutes.
-
Stir in lentils and their liquid, tomato paste, stock concentrate, Tunisian Spice Blend, and ⅓ cup water (⅔ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a boil; stir in spinach, then reduce heat to medium.
-
Using the back of a ladle or spoon, make two wells in lentil mixture (four wells for 4 servings). Carefully crack an egg* into each well. Cover pan and cook until carrots are tender, egg whites are set, and yolks are cooked to preference. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Meanwhile, cut ciabatta in half lengthwise. Toast until golden brown. Drizzle with olive oil. Halve on a diagonal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4 servings), and lemon zest to taste; season with salt and pepper.
-
Drizzle yogurt sauce over shakshuka and sprinkle with scallion greens. Serve family style directly from pan with ciabatta toast and any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
