Ingredients 

  • 4 ounces Swiss chard, (about 4 large stems and leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, (extra virgin)
  • ½ medium onion, (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups marinara sauce
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, (chopped)

  • Close and lock the lid of the pressure cooker. Make sure the valve to “sealing,” then select LOW manual pressure and set the timer for 0 minutes.
  • When the cooking is complete, hit Cancel and quick release the pressure.
  • Once the pressure gauge drops, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan, then serve immediately.

Notes

This recipe is for 4 servings of shakshuka. Each serving is 1 egg and a ¼ of the sauce.
To replace the Swiss chard, substitute a ½ cup of chopped bell pepper for the stems and 2 cups of kale or spinach for the leaves.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
