  2. Step 2

    Add the capsicum and chickpeas and sauté until the capsicum starts to soften.

    Add the tomatoes and then reduce the heat to medium. Allow to simmer for at least 10 minutes or until the vegetables and beans are your desired firmness.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the baby spinach leaves. Add some maple syrup if your shakshuka is too acidic and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Remove the frypan from the heat and dollop the coconut yoghurt on top. Serve hot with bread.
