Brunch is one of G and I’s favourite meals and whilst training for our Half Marathon we have been getting up early to go to the gym or completing a long run on our weekend mornings. When we are back we want nothing more than a scrumptious and filling brekky to fuel us up for whatever our afternoon plans are!

G decided to cook this dish for me and it was so tasty that I had to put it up on my blog!

I have seen Shakshuka a number of times on brunch menus over the last year and always wondered what exactly it consisted of. I also have never been drawn to it because I can never resist smashed avo on sourdough toast…

But when G made this for me I realised I may have been missing out. This dish is a super simple version that doesn’t involve loads of herbs and spices, but tastes incredible! Looking at the photos genuinely makes my mouth water and now this is a firm favourite for my weekend brunch menu!
