One Pan Brunch Shakshuka

This is favourite in our house. A one pan recipe with peppers, tomato & creamy garlicky tofu tucked in - cooked with fragrant spices makes this a simple, delicious & comforting weekend breakfast/ brunch.

Other veggies that you could use are courgette, chopped potatoes & aubergine. I also love using a little harissa paste if I have any for that extra kick...!

What you will need:

1 x onion finely sliced 

3 cloves garlic crushed or chopped 

2 peppers thinly sliced 

1 x tin chopped tomatoes 

1 tsp paprika 

1 tsp ground cumin 

A handful of spinach (or frozen) 

A squeeze tomato puree (or a few sun-dried tomatoes chopped) 

A handful of fresh coriander - optional but really good.

Salt & pepper 

Olive oil 

Tofu mix 

1/2 block of firm tofu 

1/2 cup of milk (I use dairy free)
