Shakshuka – Tomato & Chickpea Baked Eggs

You can knock up this recipe in under 30 minutes with minimal effort (perfect for hangovers). This is what makes it the ideal breakfast or brunch dish. Most of the ingredients can be easily kept in your cupboard, ready for any weekend you feel the taste for it. Traditional shakshuka originally came from North Africa, but it is quite popular in the Middle East, and you’ll find variations of it in Palestine, Israel and Turkey (Menemen). Shakshuka literally means “a mixture” of leftover vegetables and spices – a poor person dish which is now a bougie brunch option found in Balham for £13 a dish before you even add your chorizo. For a vegetarian option, simply replace the chorizo with another vegetable; courgette, aubergine, sweet potato just to name a few and add more smoked paprika.
