Traditional Quick & Healthy Shakshuka
Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern breakfast made from a delicious combination of tomatoes, onion, red bell peppers and spices. Eggs are baked on top and it's best eaten with a big hunk of bread to dip in that delicious tomato sauce. Shakshuka can be enjoyed at any point of the day which I think is so fun. Its quick, healthy and delicious! You're going to love the aroma in your kitchen too!
