It’s definitely Shakshuka time of year, brrrr! Im not a huge fan of winter – more of a summer to summer girl but usually a Jozi winter is not that bad. but I have definitely noticed a drop in temp this year. Right?
So this recipe from Lorna is just perfect and also one I haven’t made myself before so what a fabulous new addition to my recipe book.
If these gorgeous pictures don’t convince you then take my word for it. It is delicious! Well worth trying!
