Easy Shakshuka
Brunch has become one of my favorite weekend meals. Eggs, cheese, bread and sweet treats that are usually saved for dessert are some of the things you will find on our brunch menu.
Shakshuka has made its way to our brunch table and I am SO glad! Shakshuka is a traditional Tunisian dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, served with bread (to help mop up all the sauce). It is also very popular in Palestine and each culture brings its own flavors and herbs!
This shakshuka is made easy with the start of a strong spicy sauce from Private Selection.
For those a but afraid of spice, this will help ensure the heat level is controlled. For those who love a lot of spice (Mom!!) you can add some red chili flakes 🙂
I love the Private Selection Arrabiatta, because it is the perfect blend of acidity, heat and slight sweet notes.
