Shakshuka (Baked SPicy Eggs) – Quick & Hearty Brunch
There are many competing claims from countries for the specific origin of this dish, one popular theory states that it originated in 16 century Ottoman North Africa after the explorer Hernan Cortez introduced tomatoes to the region. Whatever the true origins one thing is for sure, this is one tasty and easy to make recipe which is why it has become such a popular meal to cook for brunch. We like to make Shakshuka using our Bombay Egg Curry sauce which shares many similar flavours with the middle eastern region. This may be because the port city of Bombay (Now Mumbai) lies on the west coast of India and was on the famous Silk Road trade route! Now that you’ve had a small history lesson its time to cook this tasty recipe, all you need for this one is a packet off Egg Curry sauce, a pan and a few extra ingredients – we recommend serving it with some warm crusty tiger bread with plenty of butter.
