Moroccan Shakshuka

Moroccan Shakshuka

For those unfamiliar with this delicious dish, shakshuka originates from North Africa and the Middle East, and is served for lunch. These are poached eggs in a super-simple tomato and red bell pepper sauce! This is probably my favourite savoury breakfast, so you absolutely must try this Moroccan version!
