A Twist on a Classic: Shakshuka Inspiration

Today we have a budget-friendly, easy-to-make, and similar looking to the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern meal shakshuka, a one-skillet recipe of eggs poached with vegetables in a spicy, tomato sauce.

This gluten-free recipe is an excellent combination of low-carb foods consisting of baked eggs and ground beef.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It’s also highly nutritious, simple to make, and great for a ketogenic diet with only 3g carbs, 41g protein, and 29g fat per serving.

I love making this recipe to help me avoid snacking and stick to a low carb meal plan. I eat it frequently as an excellent protein source post-workout to refuel quality protein and fats.

By eating more of an animal based carnivore diet, for me, there is a massive reduction in muscle soreness after a gym session whenever I eat a decent amount of animal protein and fats.

Ingredients for Success

Let’s gather what you’ll need for this amazing dish:

80/20 ground beef: Higher fat content helps you stay in ketosis.

Eggs: The star of the dish, providing protein and healthy fats.

Canned chopped tomatoes: Convenient and flavorful; use fresh if preferred.

Small onion and scallion: Add a bit of flavor without too many carbs.

Butter: Adds healthy fats and richness.

Spices: Customize to your taste (salt, pepper, paprika, cumin).

Personal Tips and Variations

Usually, I avoid canned foods in my keto diet plan, but today we’re using tinned chopped tomatoes for convenience.

However, feel free to use fresh tomatoes and finely chop them if you prefer.

Here’s where you can get creative:

Add Veggies: Mushrooms, spinach, or other low-carb veggies can add more flavor and nutrition.

Skip the Onion/Scallion: If you’re aiming for a super low-carb meal, feel free to omit these ingredients since onions aren’t really keto-friendly.

However, using just one small onion for four servings will add minimal carbs, making it negligible while still enhancing the flavor.

Make It Spicy: Turn it into a spicier, smokier version similar to shakshuka by adding some hot sauce or extra spices to give it a kick.
