Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. In a large (10-inch) cast iron skillet, sauté onions over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. Increase the heat slightly and add the eggplant. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the eggplant to brown slightly.

  3. Stir in the tomatoes, water, red pepper, and spices. Bring to a low boil. Stir in the kale and spinach and allow the greens to wilt.

  4. Make 4 wells in the vegetable mixture. Crack the eggs one at a time and place them each in a separate cup or small bowl. Gently place each egg in a well in the vegetable mixture. 

  5. Cover the shakshuka and allow the eggs to poach until the yolks are firm, about 10–12 minutes.

  6. Serve with chopped parsley if desired.
