I am so excited to bring this ‘oldie but a goodie’ recipe out from the archives.

Not only have I updated the recipe to read more clearly, but the lovely Sarah Fennel from Broma Bakery took these photographs for me! How gorgeous?

In an effort to not drive myself crazy bending over and taking loads of photos to prepare this blog for my absence post-baby, I’ll be having Sarah show some of my old recipes some love, with a photography makeover!

Sarah’s such a talented photographer and a friend and I am so happy to have her photos on this blog – honored, even! I mean, I’m constantly drooling over her Instagram.

Harissa Zucchini Noodle and Kale Skillet with Feta

This zucchini noodle skillet is chock full of healthy veggies and has a delicious harissa flavor that’s beautifully spicy – the feta sprinkled on top gives a burst of salty that complements the runny eggs, soft kale, and harissa. The chickpeas and eggs are an easy, lean protein source that makes this dish friendly for breakfast, lunch OR dinner.

What I love most about this recipe (originally posted here) is that it all happens in ONE skillet, so it’s a one-pan meal that’s easy for cleanup.

Grab a friend, sibling, parent, spouse, whatever and enjoy this meal together – perhaps with some crusty multigrain bread on the side for dipping the leftover sauce!

  • Where do you buy harissa sauce?
    • Tess, your average grocery stores carry it! You can also try Amazon, if that fails!
    • Trader Joe's has a great one with super clean ingredients!
  • Wow! I want to rush home and make this right now! Julie, thanks for the tip on Trader Joe's. Ali, the photography is beautiful. You're lucky to have such a talented friend!
  • I love that you now have calorie counts, but I think this one may be off. I thought it sounded high for the ingredients and ran it through a recipe calculator. I came up with 323 calories per serving. Can you double check? Thanks!
  • Hi Ali: I have a question about this recipe. You have said before not to cook zucchini noodles with salt because they release so much water. There is salt in this skillet recipr. Is that ok?
  • That's a lot of Harrisa unless you like your food super piquante! The spice mix I buy here in Spain is perhaps stronger than what you get in the states but I would suggest using less and ramping up if it's ok.
  • This looks tasty! I think I will be adding this to my list of things to make!
  • This looks incredible!! I love zucchini and I love egg. I also love all of the surrounding ingredients! Looks like a perfect meal.
  • I made this with beet greens instead of kale because that's what I had, used a whole can each of the chickpeas and canned diced tomatoes, and didn't have harissa so used a blend of hot sauces. It was still really delicious! Have to find some harissa and make it again.
  • One large zucchini was way way too much. Just use one medium to small
  • cartierbraceletlove Ideally the facilitator may have participated in an anecdote circle and actually really feel comfortable asking open questions in a small group. What examples would you give them which may each encourage them to easily accept the supply or which could trigger them to imagine twice. Just about similar cognates in numerous European languages – French anecdote , German Anekdote , Spanish anécdota , amongst others. It’s additional removed by the fact that the jar is simply not positioned on the hillside to fulfill its original aim (to hold or retailer gadgets, usually foodstuffs). montre cartier tank homme faux http://www.repliquemontrecartier.com/
