Simply Savor: Shakshuka with Feta Cheese

By Mirel Grossman, Dietetic Intern

This dish is believed to have originated from Tunisia, a country in Africa, this dish is named “shakshuka,” which translates to the word “mixture” in Tunisian dialect [i]. This recipe is a staple in many North African and Middle Eastern countries, and incorporates flavorful feta cheese, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and spices. This dish has healthy fats, protein, fiber and fresh produce; all of which are important for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer [ii]. The recipe is easy to put together from staple ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen, and it can be customized to your liking. Olives, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice are all common toppings that can be included based on your preferences. To create a balanced meal, it is recommended to serve a piece of crusty whole grain bread or pita with this dish, and dip it into its beautiful “mixture”. 

Ingredient highlights:

Tomatoes and Red Bell Peppers: These vegetables both contain the carotenoid lycopene, which give them their signature red color. Lycopene is an antioxidant, which prevents cellular damage from free radicals, lowering risk for chronic disease [iii].

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: As the dominant fat in the Mediterranean diet, consumption of olive oil is associated with many health benefits. The ingredient contains polyphenols, antioxidants and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), all of which are associated with health benefits. MUFAs have been shown to decrease blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers. People who use olive oil as their primary source of fat also tend to have lower BMIs [iv].  

Eggs: Once labeled as a “cholesterol raising food,” eggs have gotten the reputation for something that should be limited in one’s diet. However recent studies have shown that although eggs do contain high amounts of cholesterol, they do not increase concern for cardiovascular risk. Eggs are an excellent source of protein and amino acids and are associated with skeletal muscle health [v].

Yields 3 Servings

Ingredients: 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 6 large eggs
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat and add diced bell peppers and onions. Cook mixture for 6 minutes or until the onions become translucent.
  2. Add garlic and spices, and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour a can of tomatoes in its juice into the pan, and break the tomatoes down using a large spoon, then add honey to the pan. 
  4. Season with salt and pepper and bring the sauce to a simmer.
  5. Use your large spoon to make small wells in the sauce, and crack the eggs into each well.
  6.  Cover the pan and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the eggs are done to your liking.
  7. Garnish with feta cheese and chopped parsley and enjoy.

Notes:

  • This dish is easily modifiable to fit your taste and lifestyle. For those with sensitivities to acidic foods, add 2.5 cups of spinach and a bunch of kale and omit the tomatoes to make a green shakshuka.
  • For a dairy free version of the dish, just simply leave out the feta cheese.
  • Olives, capers or pickled onions can all be added for some additional flavor.
  • Hummus and Greek yogurt are also great additions for extra protein to the recipe.

Susan started Savor Health after losing a close friend to a brain tumor and, through that experience, becoming aware of the significant unmet nutritional needs of people with cancer.  Struck by the fact that her friend was told “nutrition doesn’t matter” and “eat whatever you want,” Susan read the evidence-based literature on the subject, interviewed oncologists, oncology nurses and oncology dietitians, as well as patients and caregivers, and found that, in fact, nutrition does matter in oncology. Armed with solid scientific evidence supporting the clinical and quality of life benefits of proper nutrition, Susan left Wall Street and created Savor Health, an AI-based provider of personalized and clinically appropriate nutrition solutions for cancer patients, their caregivers and health enterprises. Susan brings to Savor Health over 25 years of industry experience in healthcare and business as well as expertise in strategy, finance and management.

Susan is an outspoken and tireless advocate for cancer patients receiving proper nutrition and nutrition support before, during and after treatment. She strongly believes that the U. S. healthcare system requires new innovation to transform it into a more holistic and integrated system of care whereby multiple disciplines coordinate care together for the benefit of the whole patient. As part of this, her goal is for nutrition to be an integral component of such an integrated cancer care delivery system.  Susan’s commitment to the field of oncology extends beyond Savor Health to volunteer work at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in pediatrics and as a runner for Fred’s Team to raise money for research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Susan participated in the Cancer Moonshot in June of 2016 where she was a breakout session group “igniter” tasked with starting and leading discussion. Susan’s first book, the Meals to Heal Cancer Cookbook, was published in March 2016.

In addition to her role as CEO of Savor Health, Susan speaks nationally about the importance of ensuring proper nutrition in the cancer patient and on topics including leadership and startups. She has been a speaker at the Harvard Medical School’s Career Advancement and Leadership Skills for Women in Healthcare, ESMO World Congress on GI Cancer, BioPharm America, AARP Live @50+, Lake Nona Impact Forum, and IIR ePharma Summit.

Prior to starting Savor Health, Susan had a successful career on Wall Street as a healthcare services investment banker working at prestigious firms including Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Wasserstein Perella and Robertson Stephens. Susan earned a B.A. from Duke University and M.B.A. from the University of Virginia’s Darden Graduate School of Business.
