Directions

Step 1
Bring a pot of water to the boil and add a solid palmful of salt.
-
Step 2
Take the leaves off from the hard stems and wash. Blanch for 15 seconds in the boiling water, remove and place in a bowl. Once the spinach has cooled slightly try to remove as much liquid as you can. Place on a chopping board and roughly chop.

Step 3
Place the tofu in the reserved salted water and cook for 3 minutes on a medium heat. Gently remove and set aside.
-
Step 4
In the meantime, add the oil in a pan on medium heat. Add the onion and fry until translucent, approx. 5 minutes.
-
Step 5
Add the ginger, garlic, coriander powder and cumin seeds and fry for another minute.
-
Step 6
Add the vegetable stock and the spinach and stir everything together seasoning along the way.
-
Step 7
Once the mixture has reduced and thickened, take off the heat. Dice the tofu and place the spinach mixture.
-
Step 8
Serve the shakshuka and top with vegan sour cream, coriander and serve with slices of bread.
