  5. Step 5

    Add the ginger, garlic, coriander powder and cumin seeds and fry for another minute.

  6. Step 6

    Add the vegetable stock and the spinach and stir everything together seasoning along the way.

  7. Step 7

    Once the mixture has reduced and thickened, take off the heat. Dice the tofu and place the spinach mixture.

  8. Step 8

    Serve the shakshuka and top with vegan sour cream, coriander and serve with slices of bread.
