Shakshuka - perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is a simple and tasty dish.

Anything with eggs is always going to be a favourite for me! And what’s not to love about stewed onion, peppers and tomatoes cooked down to make a delicious sauce to poach eggs?

I like to add a little harissa for some heat and it’s best served with pita bread or whichever bread you prefer.

You’ll need a large frying pan or skillet with a lid for this dish.
