What’s In This Tofu Shakshuka Recipe?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
• Onions
• Garlic
• Black Beans: Use no salt added or low sodium beans for better flavor and control of the salt in this dish.  I only use low or no sodium beans in my recipes.  You can always add salt in, but it’s impossible to take out.
• Diced Tomatoes:  I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on!  I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
• Shelf Stable Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu.
• Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
• Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
• Red pepper flakes to taste

Make Shakshuka Vegan for a Plant-Based Version

Shakshuka is traditionally made with eggs. This vegan shakshuka with tofu is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.

I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and tasty recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

How Do I Make Shakshuka with Tofu?

1. In a cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
2. Add the black beans, tomatoes, and chili powder and simmer for about 15 minutes until warm and bubbling.
3. In a separate bowl, add the silken tofu, paprika, and turmeric and mash well with a fork. Stir until the tofu becomes a warm yellow.
4. With a spoon, make 4 wells in the beans. Spoon a large scoop of tofu into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes more.
5. Before serving, top shakshuka with chopped green onions, cilantro, salsa, and red chili flakes to taste.
