Shakshuka Recipe

A beautiful brekkie served straight from the pan, this is a wonderful way to enjoy a communal breakfast with loved ones. Shakshuka celebrates the flavours of the Middle East and North Africa and is one of my favourite ways to jazz up the humble egg. Loaded with medicinal spices and bursting with lycopene, this delicious dish won’t fail to impress.
