Eggs in Leeks

Eggs in Leeks Recipe👇

This is my weight loss version of a gorgeous Ottolenghi recipe. The satiety metrics are epic like this, but if you are purely aiming for taste use more butter. Also tweak the spices if you like.

500 kcal (35P, 48C, 20F) + 11g fibre

Ingredients –

5g butter
200g leeks
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
50g spinach
100g lentils (tinned)
3 medium eggs
30g reduced fat feta
Lemon juice

Method –

1. Put a frying pan on a medium heat and add the butter.

2. Add the leeks and fry for 5 minutes.

3. Mix in the cumin, paprika and pepper

4. Add the spinach and let it wilt down.

5. Throw in the lentils mix them through and bring the heat of the mix up.

6. Make three small holes and add the eggs. Then scatter on the feta and squeeze on the lemon.

7. Add any seasoning you want the put a lid on for 5 minutes until the tops of the yolks go cloudy white.

Enjoy while hot!! The key is really not to overcook the eggs. If you watch the video you’ll see my yolks were still runny.

I make this for friends a lot!! Have never had anyone dislike it. For the posh version google ‘Ottolenghi Braised Leeks’. This is my weight loss version which has superb satiety per calorie.

If you’ve never had a Shakshuka before I envy you!! Just go get the stuff and make it. And buy good eggs.

Enjoy ☺️
