Why we loved it:
Grace has thought about how eating food from different countries can transport us to other places around the world!
Shakshuka is from North Africa where they often eat it for breakfast. It’s made from simple, healthy ingredients and it is vegetarian. Shakshuka literally means “a mixture” and the traditional version uses tomatoes, onions and spices with eggs poached on top.
Grace likes hers a little bit spicy, so she adds chilli flakes, you don’t have to add chilli flakes to yours though if you don’t want to.
Do you like spicy food?
