Shakshuka

"Shakshuka" is a vegetarian dish delivering roughly 9.5g of protein for about 174.3 calories a serving — a solid plant-based option for life on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound. It has some heat, so ease off the chilli if your stomach is sensitive right now.

Ingredients

• 1 Olive Oil
• 2 Red Onions
• 1 Red Chilli
• 1 clove Garlic
• Coriander
• 800 g Cherry Tomatoes
• 1 Caster Sugar
• 4 Eggs
• Feta

Method

1. 1Heat the oil in a frying pan that has a lid, then soften the onions, chilli, garlic and coriander stalks for 5 mins until soft. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar, then bubble for 8-10 mins until thick. Can be frozen for 1 month.
2. 2Using the back of a large spoon, make 4 dips in the sauce, then crack an egg into each one. Put a lid on the pan, then cook over a low heat for 6-8 mins, until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter with the coriander leaves and serve with crusty bread.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Dial back the chilli or spice level if nausea is a factor for you today.
• At 9.5g of protein a serving, pair it with a protein-forward side if you're short of your daily target.
