• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 jalapeo pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp paprika

• For Socca Flatbread:

• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C

Warm the olive oil in a skillet that can go in the oven over medium-low heat

Chop up the garlic, onion, green bell pepper, and jalapeo pepper and add them

For about 5 minutes, or until softened, saut

Add the ground coriander, salt, pepper, and cumin powder

Mix well

Go on and cook for two more minutes

Chop up the parsley, cilantro, and spinach and add them to the pan

Heat the mixture all the way through and let the greens wilt

In the mixture, make four wells

In each well, crack an egg

Add a little salt and pepper to the eggs

Put the skillet in an oven that is already hot and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny

You can make the Socca flatbread while the shakshuka is baking

Mix the chickpea flour, water, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl with a whisk until a smooth batter forms

Put a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and lightly oil it

Pour some of the Socca batter into the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly

The flatbread should be cooked all the way through and a little crispy after two to three minutes on each side

Do it again with the rest of the batter

Take the shakshuka out of the oven and, if you want, top it with fresh fig slices and cooked bacon or prosciutto

Put the Socca Flatbread next to the Green Shakshuka and enjoy
