Shakshuka – Tomato & Chickpea Baked Eggs

Biffen's Kitchen - 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.

I came up with this recipe for my first food stand back in my local village fete of Sherfield on Loddon, and the Moroccan wraps down an absolute treat! The frequent feedback received on the day was that they were ‘refreshing‘, ‘deliciously simple‘, and ‘the perfect work lunch option’ Rather than keeping the recipe to myself, I wanted to share it with you to brighten up your next meal. Give it a try this weekend and give your taste buds a wake-up call.

Quick & Easy Lemon and Parsley Hummus

Biffen's Kitchen - Quick & Easy Lemon and Parsley Hummus

Here is my creamy and deliciously simple lemon and parsley hummus I used in my Moroccan wraps at my first food stand (which went extremely well and was a complete sellout!). I got the recipe originally from BBC Food and amended it to this refreshing and simple style. Now, you can easily buy shop hummus to save time. However, if you have a spare 7 minutes, you can make this recipe which will last up to 7 days in the fridge. I have also discovered the best way to ensure your hummus is super creamy EVERY TIME! No peeling chickpeas or anything like that; we are far too busy these days for that faff!
