The recipe vs. the reality 😂🍳
We’ve recently started stocking this Shakshuka Paste, so obviously we had to put it to the test!
Now, full disclosure… I’m not very good at sticking to recipes 🙈 I added a tin of tomatoes and cooked mine in a deeper pan, so my eggs definitely didn’t come out looking quite as beautiful as the recipe photo.
But the taste? SO, SO GOOD. 🤤
It was incredibly easy to make and one £3.99 jar easily makes 3 portions (or 2 if you’ve got a particularly hungry person in the house!).
Even better, after picking up the peppers, onion, garlic, eggs and sourdough at The Refillery, I worked it out at just £3.74 per portion based on three servings.
I recently spotted Shakshuka on a café menu in Portobello for £14 a portion with bread! 😳
Would theirs have looked prettier than mine? Almost certainly.
Would it have tasted better? I have my doubts… 😉
Definitely making this one again!
