Course Entrées, Sauces

Ingredients
  

Shakshuka Sauce

  • 3 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion cut into ½-inch dice
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into ½-inch dice
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into ½-inch dice
  • 3 jalapeno chiles minced (seeds removed)
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 30 ounce canned whole peeled tomatoes crushed by hand
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Pizza

  • 1 Cauliflower Pizza Crust
  • 6 ounce Shakshuka Sauce above
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoon Feta cheese
  • 1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 2 cups Arugula
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Shakshuka Sauce

  • Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell peppers and jalapeno chiles.
  • Sweat the vegetables until very soft but not browned, about 10 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add the garlic and cook until garlic is softened but not burned, about 1 minute longer.
  • Add paprika and cumin and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices. Add the tomatoes and stir to combine.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 12 minutes; then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pizza

  • Thaw the cauliflower crust and put it on a sheet pan or pizza screen.
  • Evenly spread 6 ounces of the prepared Shakshuka Sauce over the crust, leaving a half-inch border around the outside.
  • Using a spoon, make 4 wells for eggs around the pizza. Break the eggs directly into the wells, being careful to keep yolks intact. Season the eggs with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the feta cheese evenly around the pizza. Brush 1 tablespoon of the olive oil around the edge of the crust to promote browning.
  • Place the pizza into a 450-degree convection oven and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 15 minutes.
  • While the pizza is cooking, toss the arugula with the remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the pizza is ready, pile arugula salad in the center and serve.
