Introducing “Shakshuka”, eggs poached in a tomato and capsicum sauce. Great for a healthy brunch or for a light lunch or dinner. The recipe specifies 4 eggs but if your frypan is large enough you could easily poach 6 eggs instead, perfect for meat free Monday. Serve with bread or […]
This recipe is adapted from Rick Stein’s “From Venice to Instabul” in his recipe he calls for a small bunch of dill , I don’t do dill, so I have substituted it with coriander. I once read that Gwyneth Paltrow has a theory that those that love coriander generally don’t […]
