Notes
Hello and Welcome To Uncle Lou's Kitchen today we'll be showing you how to make Vegan Shakshuka. Shakshuka is a popular Middle Eastern dish that typically features eggs baked in a flavorful tomato sauce.
But for those following a vegan diet, silken tofu can be a delicious substitute for the eggs. Silken tofu has a soft and creamy texture that blends perfectly with the tangy and spicy tomato sauce in shakshuka. To make this dish, simply sauté garlic, onion, and spices in a pan, then add crushed tomatoes and let the mixture simmer. Next, add the silken tofu into the sauce and allow it to heat through.
Not only is this vegan version of shakshuka a tasty alternative, but it's also a healthier option compared to the traditional dish.
Silken tofu is a good source of protein and contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a great choice for those following a plant-based diet.
Serve the shakshuka with a side of crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete and satisfying meal. So, if you're looking for a delicious and nutritious vegan meal, give this shakshuka recipe a try and enjoy the flavors of the Middle East without any animal products.
If you're into vegan comfort food or even vegan breakfast ideas, this works and you can microwave it if you make it the evening before. Remember, if you like VEGAN and VEGETARIAN food, please like and subscribe!
