A few days ago I was looking for inspiration for a weekend breakfast. I read about a dish called “Shakshouka” (Eggs in Hell) and my taste buds were already in fire for this one, I had to try it out. So I adapted the recipe upon my own taste and gave it a go.
I must say that I am impressed on how well this combination works with cold winter mornings as it gives you the right kick to start the day and it’s so delicious!
