A green twist on shakshuka, this is super creamy and flavourful and it literally takes ten minutes to make. A beany twist on a recipe I wrote for my column a while back, the butterbeans really add to this. Go for nice big fat ones if you can because it makes all the difference. I love [@boldbeanco](https://www.instagram.com/boldbeanco/). Add as many eggs as you fancy and if you want to make it vegan, go for a vegan yog and omit the eggs. It is still DELICIOUS.

serves 2-4  
- Olive oil  
- 1 bunch spring onions, finely chopped  
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated  
- Thumb sized piece of ginger, finely grated  
- 1/2-1 large green chilli, finely chopped (depending on how much you like heat)  
- 150g spinach  
- 450g large butter beans (drained weight)
For the green yogurt  
- 1 large bunch coriander  
- Handful Thai basil (optional)  
- 2 tbsp tahini  
- 150g Greek yogurt  
- 1 whole garlic clove  
- 1 tsp ground coriander seed  
- Good pinch of salt  
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil  
- 2 tbsp water  
- 3-4 eggs  


# Instructions

In a large deep frying pan or casserole pan with a lid, add a glug of olive oil and cook the spring onion, garlic, ginger and chilli until softened.  

Add the spinach and cook until wilted down.

Rinse and drain the butterbeans.

In a high speed blender blend the green yogurt mix until smooth (add more water if needed)

Add the beans and the green yogurt to the pan, cooking over a gentle to medium heat and stirring to combine.

Create 3-4 wells in the beans depending on how many eggs you are cooking

Crack in the eggs. Cover with a lid and cook for 4 minutes or until the whites have set.

Serve with more finely chopped chilli, fresh coriander and cracked black pepper.
