How many time have you ordered this luscious tangy brunch item in a restaurant and wished you could easily make it at home? the answer is definitely countless of times for me.
Before working on this recipe, I did read over 20 recipes in every possible language I can understand. I handpicked my favorite ingredients and tricks from different cooks to make this one. But most importantly, I added my personal twist for this traditional recipe: I roasted red bell pepper so I can use it with the mix. And oh my! I ended up with a festival of flavors. Like I literally was dancing over the taste. I only wished someone filmed that moment.
So if you are looking for a brunch inspiration for the weekend, trust me you’ve got to give my Shakshuka a try.
