Green Shakshuka
Tomatillos, green chiles, and spinach replace the tomato base. Topped with avocado and cotija. The verde version has its own identity.
Made in a stone mortar as God intended. The order of addition matters. Lime goes in last.
In the molcajete, grind onion and serrano with salt to a coarse paste.
Add jalapeño and pound lightly.
Halve avocados, remove pits. Scoop flesh into the molcajete. Mash — some chunks are good.
Add coriander, fold gently.
Add lime juice last, fold once. Taste. The avocado should be the dominant flavor.
Serve immediately or press plastic wrap directly on the surface. Will keep 2 hours in the fridge.

North African eggs poached in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. One pan, twenty minutes, feeds a crowd. My go-to for lazy Sunday brunch.
Street-style pad thai with tofu instead of shrimp, and coconut aminos standing in for fish sauce. Tastes like the real thing, I promise.
Pan-fried halloumi cubes instead of eggs. Unexpected, totally vegan-friendly if you want, and much more party-friendly.
