Shakshuka is a flavoursome, Mediterranean dish which consists of poached eggs in a hearty tomato sauce with fragrant herbs and spices. Whilst keeping the recipe traditional, we’ve added a few tweaks to take it up a notch. The goats cheese is the highlight of the dish adding salt and tang to the rich tomato sauce. This can easily be replaced with feta or cheddar if you want to make it cheesy. We believe this 20 minute meal can be enjoyed at anytime of the day.
