Ingredients

  • Kosher salt as needed
  • 4 ounces fresh spinach about 4 cups packed
  • 1 large bunch fresh Swiss chard stems discarded, leaves chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 3 large garlic cloves thinly sliced
  • 1/2 serrano pepper diced (seeded, if less heat is desired)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 teaspoon harissa powder or Aleppo pepper
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon about 3 tablespoons
  • 4-6 large eggs one for each person you are serving
  • 2 tablespoons feta cheese crumbled
  • Red chili flakes for garnish
  • Crusty bread or pita for serving

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil and fill a large bowl with ice water. Add spinach and Swiss chard and blanch for 2 minutes, or until bright green, then transfer to ice water. Using tongs, transfer blanched greens to a high speed blender or bowl of a food processor. Blend until completely pureed, about 30 seconds. Set puree aside.
  • Heat oil in a 10-12 inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and saute until soft and translucent, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and serrano pepper and saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add cumin, caraway seeds, and Aleppo pepper or harissa powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly groundblack pepper.
  • Add pureed greens, cilantro, parsley, and 1 cup of water to the skillet. Simmer until water has reduced by half, 3-5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and cook until simmering, 2 minutes. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Using the back of a spoon, make wells in the mixture for the eggs. Reduce heat to medium low and gently add an egg into each well and cook for 7-9 minutes, depending on the desired doneness of the egg yolk.
  • Top with crumbled feta and red chili flakes. Serve immediately with crusty bread or pita.
