Shakshuka - Poached eggs in a Spicy Tomato Stew

I enjoy eating lots of fruit and veg in my diet and find that my meals become a lot more imaginative when I incorporate as many vegetables as I can into every meal. Breakfast in our house usually involves oats and toast with fruit thrown over as a topping but over the weekend, when I prefer something a bit more savoury. Shakshuka has become a favourite. The wonderfully warming Moroccan spices complement the eggs really well. Perfect for breakfast or brunch with friends!
