Recipe: One-Skillet Shakshuka

Need a reason to hit snooze and enjoy a slow morning at home? It's hard to find time for lazy brunches during ski season, but shakshuka is a pretty persuasive way to do it.

Shakshuka is a traditional Middle Eastern breakfast dish, a one-skillet egg dish baked in a spiced, bright red tomato sauce. This one’s perfect for that slow Sunday morning when there’s no rush to get out of the house, and makes a great hangover cure. It’s not required, but we’ve found shakshuka to taste best when you dunk a thick slice of sourdough bread in it.

Hitting it too hard and don't have time for brunch? This makes a great quick dinner too! We like to stir in chickpeas for a heartier meal post skiing.
